Rolex Datejust 36mm Ref 1601 Serviced 2023 Watch

Q: What size is this Rolex Datejust?
A: This watch has a 36 mm case, which is the classic Datejust size. It offers a timeless vintage fit and, according to this listing, the bracelet fits a wrist of up to 20 cm.

Q: Is the date quick-set on Ref. 1601?
A: No. The Rolex Datejust Ref. 1601 is a vintage non-quick-set model, so the date is usually adjusted by advancing the hands through midnight rather than by a separate rapid date-setting position.

Q: Does this model have an acrylic or sapphire crystal?
A: Vintage Datejust 1601 models are generally fitted with an acrylic crystal rather than sapphire. This is part of the charm of older Rolex watches and gives the watch a softer, more classic look.

Q: Has this watch been serviced?
A: Yes. The listing states that this watch was serviced in 2023. If you would like to know whether any service documentation is included, please contact us before purchase.

Q: What condition is the watch in?
A: The watch is listed in Very Good condition, with light traces of use. The case and bracelet show scratches, while the internal condition is described as Very Good.

Q: What is included with this watch?
A: The included items listed for this watch are the box and outer box. If any additional item is important to you, we recommend confirming it with us before purchase.

Q: What year is this watch from?
A: The exact production year is not stated in this listing, and the serial number is noted as illegible. Ref. 1601 is a vintage Datejust reference, so if precise dating matters to you, please get in touch for further guidance.

Q: Can I wear this watch every day, and is it suitable for water exposure?
A: Many collectors enjoy wearing vintage Datejust models regularly, but this is still a vintage watch and should be treated with more care than a modern sports watch. We recommend avoiding swimming, showering, and prolonged moisture exposure unless the watch has been recently pressure-tested for water resistance.
