How often should I service this pre-owned Rolex?
We recommend a complete service every 5-7 years to ensure optimal performance and longevity, given the watch's age.
Can I swim with this GMT-Master 16700?
While originally water-resistant, we advise caution with any vintage watch. Have its water resistance checked by a professional before swimming.
How do I clean the stainless steel case and bracelet?
Use a soft brush with mild soapy water, rinse thoroughly, and dry with a lint-free cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals.
The bezel is stiff. Is this normal?
A slightly stiff bidirectional bezel is common for this model and era. It should turn smoothly without grinding; if concerned, consult a watchmaker.
Does no box or papers affect the watch's value?
It typically reduces the price, which is reflected in our offering. The value lies in the authentic timepiece itself, verified by its serial number.
