My 116613LB

I bought a 2017 bluesy from a renowned dealer and after wearing it for a couple of hours the watch stops. Shouldn’t need a service yet. Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Maybe it's not automatic and needs to be wound. Usually the dealer will wind it for you as a courtesy before you leave the store. Ideally, the watch should last at least through one power reserve cycle.
if bot on credit card - you could have extended warranty - if there was a warranty in the first place -

My first call would have been to the dealer I bought it off, not post about it on TRF

Just sayin’

Good luck resolving the issue.

It’s a 116613LB - it’s automatic

Renowned dealers are not immune to selling the odd junker.

This is why I buy the same watch from 5 different dealers and ADs. Guaranteed one will work.

This is common when you recently purchase. Give it a wind of 40 rotations and it should be ok.
Good luck, and great buy.

It takes a lot of winding from a dead stop. You might be under winding it. A good 40 turns and if possible wear it 24/7 for a couple of days. If it stops after that it's back to the seller.

50 full turns from stopped and see. If you have done this several times, speak with the dealer.

Needs to be wound as everyone has mentioned. Likely nothing wrong with the watch

Give it a full wind and let us know if it’s still acting up. 40 full turns.

Still waiting to hear from OP, although he's probably too embarrassed to admit that he didn't wind it first.

This is why I bought 5 ADs. Guaranteed to get at least one Daytona if I own the ADs.

Granted, I am still waiting . . . I won't even call myself.
