Rolex Datejust 178240 is a watch, inspected by our certified watchmaker in Geneva and offered by WATCHOYSTER. It ships worldwide, fully insured. The photos show the actual watch, and the sections below cover what matters when you choose between examples of this reference.
White dials are where originality matters most on a watch, so check the photos for even colour, crisp printing, and lume that has aged at the same rate as the hands. The numeral style, "Roman numerals", sets how formal the dial looks and how quickly the time can be read at a glance. Steel bezels take the first knocks on any watch, so look for dents, chips, and rubbing along the edge, and on a rotating bezel check that it turns cleanly and the insert has not faded.
Steel cases differ in weight and in how they carry scratches and polishing marks, so compare the case photos with the condition grade below.
Steel cases show their history in two places: the surface and the edges. Rounded lugs and blurred bevels suggest the case has been polished more than once, so compare the case photos with the condition grade below.
Steel wears in its own way: metal bracelets stretch and open small gaps between links, while straps show age at the holes and edges, so read the photos of the strap or bracelet with that in mind. The closure is listed as "Fold clasp", and it is one of the first parts of a bracelet to show wear, so it deserves a close look in the photos.
It belongs to the Datejust line, so comparing it with other examples from the same family is the quickest way to judge whether the price is fair. The watch is filed under "Men's watch/Unisex", which indicates intended size and styling more than who may wear it.
Automatic movements ask for different upkeep: mechanical ones typically need a service every five to ten years, while quartz ones need a battery change and an occasional gasket check.
Water resistance is stated as "10 ATM"; the figure applies to new seals, so on a watch we advise a pressure test before it goes near water, and a 30 m rating means splash resistance only. It dates from 2010, and the year matters because dials, hands, lume and bracelets often changed within a single reference.
Any wear is visible in the photos, and we describe it as plainly as we can. Used (Very good) is the grade we assign after inspecting the case, dial, bezel, crystal, and bracelet, and the photos show the wear behind that grade. The set is described as "Original box, original papers". Box and papers document provenance, and a watch with a full set is usually easier to resell.
The reference number 178240 separates this version from other variants of the model, down to dial, bezel and bracelet details, so match it against the photos before you buy.
