Please note that the majority of our items are vintage and therefore have tales to tell unless stated otherwise. Therefore, please look at pictures, descriptions and measurements provided as they give you the best idea of the story this item has to tell.
* Please note that when you buy a vintage product, the dimensions may vary slightly from a new one depending on previous care and storage.
Q: What size is this Rolex and how does it wear? A: This watch has a 25 mm case, giving it a compact vintage look rather than a modern oversized fit. It is best suited to those who prefer a smaller, elegant profile on the wrist. This specific piece is listed as fitting a wrist up to 17 cm.
Q: Is this Rolex automatic or manual wind? A: The Oyster Perpetual Date line is a self-winding Rolex design, so this model is generally worn as an automatic watch. With regular wear, it should keep itself wound through wrist movement.
Q: Does the watch have a date function, and is it quick-set? A: Yes, it has a date display. As this is a late-1960s vintage Rolex Date model, buyers should expect traditional date-setting behaviour rather than the convenience of a modern quick-set system, meaning the hands may need to be advanced through 24-hour cycles to change the date.
Q: Is 25 mm too small for everyday wear? A: Not at all if you enjoy classic proportions. Many collectors choose smaller vintage Rolex watches precisely for their understated and refined appearance. It is an especially good option for slimmer wrists or anyone wanting a more discreet watch.
Q: Can I wear this watch every day? A: Yes, but it should be worn with the care appropriate for a vintage watch from 1969. It is ideal for regular light wear, but we recommend avoiding knocks, rough sports, and unnecessary exposure to moisture.
Q: Is this watch water resistant? A: The Oyster case was originally developed for water resistance, but with a vintage watch of this age it is safest to treat it cautiously around water unless it has been freshly pressure tested by a qualified watchmaker. For everyday ownership, we recommend avoiding swimming, showering, or prolonged contact with water.
Q: What condition is this watch in? A: The external condition is noted as very good, with light scratches on the case and bracelet. The internal condition is noted as good. Overall, it presents well as a vintage piece with expected signs of age and wear.
Q: What product information is included with this watch? A: No box, papers, or other product information are included with this piece. If anything is not listed on the product page, it should be assumed not to be included.
Q: What should I know about the Jubilee bracelet fit? A: This watch comes on a Jubilee bracelet with a folding clasp. The current bracelet size is suitable for a wrist up to 17 cm, so it is important to check your wrist measurement before purchasing if you need a larger fit.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Rolex like this? A: Store it in a dry place, keep it away from strong impacts and chemicals, and have it serviced by a qualified watch specialist when needed. For a vintage bracelet, gentle wear and regular cleaning with a soft dry cloth will help preserve its condition over time.
