My First Rolex

[blingking]

U have not wind up suffiently... My sub have to wind abt 25 to kick start the movement.... Try again when it is "dead". No need to go to date n time adjustment.

I hope you are right.

I did 20 winds as instructed by the AD.

There are 4 crown positions : locked, manual winding, date and time adjustment.

Do i have to carry out manual winding in this sequence?

There was an instance when the power reserve had ran out.

So i did a manual winding and pushed the crown back to locked position, i was surprised that the watch did not move.

It was only after i adjusted the date and time and then pushed the crown to the locked position that the watch moved.

I tried mine at 50 winds before and it ends at after 48 hours and 12 minutes.

My watch was wind up 20 turns at the AD. I did not wear the watch but took it out every night and gave it a few shakes. It managed about 42 hours of reserve.

Hi all,

After scouting around various watch brands and after a long "struggle", i had finally gotten the V Series Sub Date!!

Probably the very last few remaining locally right now!!

Excellent choice! Congrats! Am wearing my Sub-Date right now and still love it!

Hi all,

After scouting around various watch brands and after a long "struggle", i had finally gotten the V Series Sub Date!!

Probably the very last few remaining locally right now!!

And now, for some newbie questions that i really need help on :

1. Do you guys actually bother about the COSC standard? How do i check whether my watch is within the standard?

2. How many rounds of hand winding do i need? Clock-wise turns? My AD said 20 winds, is this enough?


Thanks!!

Congratulations. its a very nice watch.

1. adjust your watch to a time source. I use singapore standard time from the net. monitor after a week or so. Only do it once a while. So long its not too far off, i'm not too bothered. mechanical are never as accurate as quartz.

2. If you wear it daily, no need to wind. To "kick start" 20 is good, more will not harm either. Clock wise.

enjoy!!

Actually, this is my first mechanical watch, hence these questions.

There are people who go bonkers over the +/- 4 to 6 secs COSC standard. They will monitor and send back to Rolex for servicing if does not meet.

Not sure whether i want to go into that. I fear i might be disappointed.

But then again, this is a $8k watch.

I will adjust the watch to a Seiko quartz.

How many times must i wind to reach 50 hours of power reserve? Anyone knows?

Another newbie question :

Can i hand wind the watch while it is still running?

yes. but why???
