Newbie winding and runtime question
I just bought a mint used datejust from a reputable rolex seller. I am wondering how long should the watch run when one wind it 20 times? Without wearing it I get about 18 hours does that sound right? I have heard a fully wound watch should run for 36 hour. The model of the datejust is 16233.

That's only a half wind, so that is about half what it would run with a full wind..

With automatics, even though it selfs wind, it may not fully wind when it is worn while working desk diving jobs / office jobs.
I guess it is a good idea to give it a full wind once a week.
