Q: What is the Rolex Lady‑Oyster Perpetual Date 26mm Ref. 6919 (1984)? A: It’s a vintage two‑tone ladies’ Rolex featuring a 26mm Oyster case, fluted yellow‑gold bezel, champagne dial with a date window and Cyclops magnifier, and a Jubilee bracelet. The “Perpetual” designation indicates an automatic self‑winding movement.
Q: Does it use a battery? A: No. This watch is mechanical and self‑winding. The rotor inside the movement winds the mainspring with the natural motion of your wrist, so no battery is required.
Q: Does this reference have a Quickset date? A: Most examples of this reference from the era are non‑Quickset, meaning the date advances when the hands pass midnight. To set the date, unscrew the crown, wind if needed, pull to the time‑setting position, and rotate the hands past midnight repeatedly until the correct date appears. Avoid changing the date manually between about 9pm and 3am.
Q: What crystal does it have and how durable is it? A: Period‑correct pieces are fitted with an acrylic (plexiglass) crystal. Acrylic offers a warm vintage look and can often be polished to reduce light surface marks, though it is more prone to scratches than sapphire.
Q: Is it water‑resistant and can I swim with it? A: The Oyster case was originally rated to 100 metres; however, water resistance on a vintage watch cannot be guaranteed without a current pressure test. We recommend treating it as splash‑resistant only and avoiding swimming or showering.
Q: Will this watch fit my wrist? A: This specific piece is sized to fit a wrist up to 16.5cm. The Jubilee bracelet can be reduced by removing links. Extra links to increase size are not included but may be sourced separately via a watchmaker or specialist.
Q: The listing mentions “medium slack” in the bracelet—what does Sit mean? A: Over decades, Jubilee bracelets can develop sopcalled “stretch” as pins and tubes wear, resulting in a looser drape. Specialist workshops can tighten or restore vintage bracelets to reduce slack and improve comfort.
Q: Is the 26mm ladies’ size still produced by Rolex? A: No—the contemporary Lady‑Datejust is 28mm. The discontinued 26mm size remains popular among collectors who prefer its classic, understated proportions.
Q: What is included with this purchase? This listing is “watch only” with no original box or papers. It is sold with A Retro ps Tale’s full/logfulness authenticity guarantee and secure packaging.
Q: Is there a warranty, and what are your shipping and returns policies? a: We provide a 12‑month mechanical warranty on the movement. Shipping is free pipeline and fully insured, with sop 0% customs fees for EU buyers. We offer a 14‑day return period for peace of kind.
