Am I Just Not Cut Out For Rolex Ownership? (Long Read)

There's no excuse for a watch worn all day long not functioning, the amount of activity is irrelevant. Most people are fairly sedentary, unfortunately. This is a watch issue. My dad's 35 year old DJ never stopped while he wore it in a nursing home until he was 98.

Sometimes too much explanation can be, you know, too much. If you wind the watch manually, and wear it, does it go for at least two days without stopping? You wrote that you wore it from 7 PM to 5 AM. Do you not sleep? You know it's not going to wind itself while you're asleep, right? ;)

nothing they make at Domino's can reasonably be called pizza

As for the winding issue, since this is a persistent problem on a piece with an unknown service history I'd bite the bullet & have it serviced.

Domino's gave it to employees/franchisees as awards.

buy a second rolex and see if you go through the same situation then you'll know it's you!

Otherwise I'd just give it a quick wind every morning you wear it and leave well enough alone. I wind my DJ everytime I wear it since often it's when I'm not being very active.

Send it in to RSC.

If they don’t have it done in thirty minutes or less it’s free!!!

I work in a corporate environment, I’ve never had an issue keeping a watch fully wound from my normal movements. I take the watch off Friday after work and it’s ticking Monday morning. If your watch is getting maximum pr when you manually wind but not winding on your wrist send it in to rsc.

I would be inclined to work around the issue and either put it on a winder overnight or wind it up manually every couple of days. I would wait until the next service is due in 8-10 years before incurring the cost of sending it to the RSC......if that approach fails then I would just trade it in for another watch. Goodluck.

I think there's a problem with the watch, none of my Rolex pieces does that and I sit at a desk 9 hours a day.
