I agree. There are days on end I'm not very active and my SubC has never stopped. I don't wind it that often either. I would have it looked at. With every Rolex I've had none has ever stopped as long as I wore it daily no matter how little I did. I think sometimes thing like this get dismissed on here but IMO I don't think it's normal, atleast in my experience.

[Elkhunter]

Thanks dlack. I like this idea because I think the less one has to pull the crown out the better. Hope this does it.

[submariner21]

that doesn't sound right. i would take it back..

[Mahkota]

He did say the watch stopped when he was wearing it! So it is not winding issue. My experience with this watch is that it has a very effective winding mechanism. Take it back to the place of purchase or rsc.

[Vaxe]

Most of you are assuming that a guy who just slapped down ~7k for a watch doesn't know a thing about mechanical movement.... C'mon, give him more credit.

What he is experiencing definitely is abnormal. Just walk it to a RSC and have it checked out.

It's also great arm and wrist exercise, and who can't use a bit of that?

that would be shoogle instead of a circular motion

[bayerische]

Both my Ploprof and My JLC navy seals used to stop on the winder in a few days, so yup the winder isn't perhaps doing much "winding".

[Passionata]

to the OP
Have several automatic watches from different manufacturers including Rolex,never had similar prolems ,must be a problem ,pls return to the AD and insist to get a full overhaul.

I would suggest some Kate Upton Videos.

Try this one

The crown winding gear train, like the rest of a mechnical watch, needs movement to keep the lubriants dispersed.

I just broke my main spring!

[polarinda]

it's likely the auto winder at fault. My SD had the same problem and it happened to be a loose screw blocking the auto winder. The former owner must have had subjected the watch to some heavy vibration(biker?) according to my watchmaker, that a screw in the movement could come loose.

$8 fix for that one.

My Dad had a seiko kinetic that as he got older, the watch would quit working over night as he slept with it on. He figured it was just getting old and worn. After a service there was no difference. I took and wore it for a month and never had a problem, point being, he was just not that active anymore literally not moving enough to keep a mechanical watch moving.
Just thought it was kind of humorus..........a seiko :)

I wear my SubC about 16 hours a day, of which a good 8-9 hours is spent sitting at my desk at work, working on the computer. i.e. little or no wrist motion.

I never wind my watch manually, but yet this level of daily activity is enough to maintain around 24+ hours of power reserve (when I rotate and wear my DSSD the next day, I put my SubC in my drawer and it does not stop).

So, given the fact that your jeweller wound it and you wore it daily for 16 hours, and it still stopped, I really do think there is something wrong with your watch.

[mottykytu]

Use this
BUT I BELIEVE 16HOURS WEAR/ A DAY IT IS ENOUGH FOR THE WATCH TO LAST FOR 2 DAYS WITHOUT WINDING !!!

[landroverking]

I bought SD a few years back put it on walked out the store, looked down and it was 20 minutes off. Went only crap batman!
Took it off wound it up, never happen again.

[hoops10]

I am a novice when it comes to watch movements but this does not sound normal. I would immediately take it back to Ben Bridge. I have purchased numerous watches from them, Rolex, Omega etc. and have never had a problem with their customer service.

This. Numerous Rolex Oyster Perpetual models both vintage and modern used by me--various periods of activity from little to lots---with the single exception of a pit stop in one Datejust due to a broken mainspring (easy, quick repair by watchmaker) never once a stoppage of any sort.

[mikkolopez]

That does not seem normal. I'd take it back and have it looked at.

OP, how about an update..........

To properly use a watch winder, the watch should be fully wound before putting it on the winder. It will then keep putting about 24 hours of wind into it every 24 hours if it is properly set..

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but I have a question on this. As I understand it, Rolex require a lower winder setting than most, I believe 650 is the preferred TPD. Regarding the statements above, does that mean 650 turns maintains the power reserve or is sufficient to fully wind the watch?

To maintain.

[polarinda]

this is also the reason Im moving to manual wind watches. I just don't trust auto wind rotors anymore. You never know when it will stop on you. With manual wind, you wind every morning and you can sit all day at the desk.

[abozz]

I think your watch has a problem. I am not at all an active person. I am always at my desk and I have never had to wind my Rolex if I take it off for less than 30 or 35 hours. The watch does not need that you do crossfit with it with just moving your arm thing that we all do constantly the rotor will move.

You're nearly six years late with your diagnosis, my man.
