Close to Purchasing this Lady Rolex

This is a birthyear 18k Rolex OP I had picked out for my wife.



The case is 24mm, but she has extremely thin wrists... and likes a smaller watch, so all OK there. She will surely want to wear it on lizard skin or leather skin, but could go full gold on occasion but not everyday.

Just want to make sure it looks OK otherwise – if you told me that the bracelet wasn't original, or that this model was known for some issues with X or Y, I might reconsider.

I would also like any help or tips on purchasing an OEM Rolex strap, if anyone knows how/where best to do this.

The price is 2.800 Euro including shipping – but it's a birthyear watch, and not something I feel I'm able to wait and find the absolute best deal on necessarily ...but I would like it to be correct and overall a decent value.



So I am compiling a final list of questions for the seller – if you have anything you think I should ask/add please let me know.

* Date of last service/service history?
* Photo of movement (Only curious of course!)
* Pressure test?
* How is the bracelet shortened?...not immediately clear to me.
* ?

In general ladies rolex r not as collectable. That said u have a very nice specimen there. It's a sigma dial which is not common if it's any significant to you. Also all black out markers no lume which again is not common. Condition wise, it's polished but the lugs still look strong. Can you show more pictures of the bracelet? If it's original, I think the bracelet itself is worth more than the watch. And for that reason alone, it's a good price. As to ur questions, they r not deal breaker to me.


I blame it on the autoconnect.

how does that bracelet get adjusted? if she's got thin wrists, would it need to be sized or just wear it loose?

Everyone – thanks so much for the feedback. Very appreciated!


I could never tell if the dial markers had black applied somehow, or if this is reflection/refraction.

Sounds expensive and long-term, not good for the value of the watch – not that this is an investment of that nature.

I guess we'll have to see how it fits first.

Excellent point! Though I might in fact move it to the end, as most children probably have thicker wrists. But hopefully, adjusting the clasp will be enough and it wouldn't need any further surgery.

Not sure I'm a fan of the black-out markers, though I am certainly a fan of no lume dots!

I am really torn between this piece and something more...safe, and solid. Like a 69178, the so called "Ladies President".
