116500 runs out of gas overnight

[ppbskis]

Hello Forum,
I was lucky enough to get my Ceramic Daytona from my AD in December of 2016.
Just recently I would wear it after properly winding it at least 20 rotations of the crown, wear it all day, pick it up the next morning and it was dead.
Just took it to my AD to send off.
Hopefully it comes back in better shape than I sent it.

Well a Daytona needs to be wound at least 70 full turns of the crown.

Hopefully it comes back quick as there is likely nothing wrong with it.

20 turns and a days wear may not keep it running. 40 turns would have...

After i noticed it was not the right time I then did exactly what you said. I wound it 40 times and hoped it was just not fully wound. But no luck, it was stopped 8 hours later.

How are you winding it first the Daytona needs 60 plus full crown turns clockwise only you cannot over-wind it.

You must have missed the part where OP stated he wore his watch the whole day. Talk about jumping to conclusions.

OP, according to the Daytona manual you were 5 rotations short. But yeah, weird problem. You did the right thing.

40 full winds should be more than 8 hours.

Sounds like something is wrong.

Exactly.

Wearing it sitting at a desk is not winding it but thanks for pointing that out.

Same thing with my Ceramic white dial Daytona. Had it for 6 months and it would not hold a reserve even after 60 turns. Sent it Rolex, 6 weeks later it returned perfect with another year of warranty added.

I would have thought 40 spins and at least 10 hours of Saturday wearing it driving, walking etc would give me plenty of power.
I will let you know what the AD report is.
Comforting to hear it has been experienced before, exactly what I hoped I would hear.

Well kinda sucks because it's a 10k plus watch, but at the end of the day, Rolex makes mass production watches, so this will happen.

I don’t know if there really is something wrong with the OP’s watch or not, but that is a ridiculously dismissive answer.

Why is that? I fully agree with OP, I would have taken it to the AD too. If anything, you're one who's dismissive.

Its probably the mainspring or the dried oils.

The watch might need an overhaul.

If you have warranty RSC in Geneve is the place to go. I wouldnt mind travelling, but the problem is that you would need to travel twice as they need the wacth at least 2-3 weeks which can be acceptable if you live in europe.

But if you live in the states then its not an option. So do your research on forums about which RSCs have good and which RSCs have bad service and choose the good one and increase your chances to trust.

Mainspring?

Well, OP proved you wrong.

What does price have to do with it?

Whether or not 10k is expensive is a matter of perspective for the owner. But there is no price point where you are guaranteed zero problems.

I sense a disturbance in the Force.

Exactly, no price point can guarantee zero problems. Still, you get what you pay for often come to mind.

While reading your other posts, I think the one I quoted may have have been facetious or sarcastic, if so, I think we might be on the same page about this.

I picked up my watch last week from the AD.
As it was warranty work i did not receive any breakdown of the work.
The receipt only indicated the Watch information such as model and serial #.
Check Movement.
No charge under warranty.
I wish i could relate more.
So far i left the watch sitting for over 58 hours and its still running.
