Q: What size is this watch? A: This Rolex Oysterdate measures 34 mm across the case, which is a classic vintage Rolex size. It wears neatly and elegantly rather than oversized, making it ideal if you prefer a slimmer, more traditional wrist presence.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: According to the product information, the bracelet fits a 15.5 cm wrist or smaller. If your wrist is larger, you may need to explore resizing or an alternative strap solution after purchase.

Q: What size is this watch? A: This Rolex Oysterdate measures 34 mm across the case, which is a classic vintage Rolex size. It wears neatly and elegantly rather than oversized, making it ideal if you prefer a slimmer, more traditional wrist presence.
Q: Will the bracelet fit my wrist? A: According to the product information, the bracelet fits a 15.5 cm wrist or smaller. If your wrist is larger, you may need to explore resizing or an alternative strap solution after purchase.
Q: Is the Rolex Oysterdate ref. 6694 automatic? A: No. The ref. 6694 is a manual-wind vintage Rolex, so it should be wound by hand through the crown to keep it running.
Q: How do I set the time and date on a vintage 6694? A: As with many vintage Oysterdate 6694 watches, you wind and set the watch via the crown. Date setting is less convenient than on modern quick-set models, so it is best to handle the crown gently and avoid forcing the mechanism.
Q: Can I wear this watch in water? A: The Oyster case was originally designed for water resistance, but this is a vintage 1969 watch. For that reason, it is safest to avoid swimming, showering, or prolonged water exposure unless the watch has been professionally pressure-tested very recently.
Q: What is special about the Hysteric Glamour dial? A: The Hysteric Glamour dial is the standout design detail of this piece and gives it a far more unusual look than a standard Oysterdate 6694. It is a distinctive option for collectors who enjoy vintage Rolex styling with extra character on the dial.
Q: Is the bracelet original to the watch? A: The product information notes that the bracelet is of a later model. This means the bracelet is a later replacement rather than the exact original period bracelet from 1969.
Q: What condition is the watch in? A: The overall condition is listed as good. Externally, there are light scratches on the case and bracelet, the internal condition is good, and the hardware remains shiny with light scratches from age and wear.
Q: What is included with the watch? A: Please refer to the product information for the most accurate included contents. If box, papers, or other extras are not listed there, they should not be assumed to be included.
Q: How should I care for a vintage Rolex like this? A: Keep the crown secured after winding or setting, store the watch away from moisture and strong impacts, and have it checked periodically by a trusted professional familiar with vintage watches. Gentle cleaning with a soft cloth is usually best for day-to-day care.
