Stops after i take it
Your watch is self winding and will run down (if fully wound) for about 2 days.
This type of watch thrives on use and if not used will stop. To avoid having to re-wind by shaking, it should be worn every day.
(Some makers say that to full wind up their self winding watches, they need to be shaken (gently) aboiut 200 times).
Want to know if my rolex is fake it states winner
Sorry to say it's a reproduciton..and not a very accurate one..
The three front dials should not reference any days hour dates etc..
There should be nothing engraved on the back
The "second hand" is a sweep timer hand on the original.. it should be stationary at the noon position unless activated.
Probably a good looking watch.. but it's not a Rolex.
Best of luck
Hi, I have a Daytona
Howdy..
Not sure what your question is.. but I assume you wish to know if you have the real thing or not.
The watch you describe is a reproduction and not the genuine article.
I am sure there are other indicators.. however the Daytona and 99.9999% of all Rolex watches do not have engraving on the back cover.
Best of luck
We are trying to figure
There are a few things to check..
Most reproductions/fake Daytonas have a second hand that moves.. if your second/sweep hand is moving like a standard second hand.. you have a fake.
The real Daytona's second hand remains at the 12 position as it is part of the stopwatch function and only moves when activated.
A few other things you can check.. if the three mini dials refer to months or days it's a fake.
If anything is engraved on the back of this watch.. it's a fake
Rolex engraves a serial number between the lugs.. some fakes duplicate this..but generally not very well.
Lastly if you have none of these issues.. the final way to be sure is to have the back removed and have the movement verified.
Best of luck
Hello all, i have ad
I would guess between 25 and 75 dollars for a good one.
Unfortunately everything else is the same is a very broad statement.. the case and bracelet material isn't the same.. the movement isn't the same nor is it COSC certified.. and I could name probably a dozen more reasons why it isn't the same..even the crystal may not be the same.. chances are the stopwatch sweep hand is acting like a second hand.. etc etc. however from a few feet away.. it will suffice.. and is a nice looking watch.. enjoy it.
Best of luck
My son came across a
Hate to tell you this.. but it's a replica.
Daytona's nor to 99.9% of Rolex watches do not have engraving on the back of any type.. just a few rare exceptions and the Daytona is not one of them.
A realy Daytona in good shape would be worth many thousands of dollars.. enjoy the replica.. there are some nice fakes out there and as long as you don't misrepresent it as a real one in some type of transaction for services or money.. no harm done
Good luck
My watch is not working,,is
Your watch is a self winding type and does not contain a battery.
To wind it up, swing it from side to side gently for a few minutes (this operates the self winding mechanism).
Self winding watches thrive on use and will only run for 2-3 days if not worn.
I found a rollex winner
As far as I know this watch model did not use Roman Numerals.. the hour marks should be simple single hash markers.. no numbers at all ..
The minute and hour hands should be pointed.. and the minute hand should extend over the edge of the hour markers touching the second markers
The winder should have three dots under the Rolex Crown and there should be s o ring on the stem set in a grove.. that functions .. not for looks.
The registers (three little sweep dials) should not have days of the weeks or any other reference to dates..just numbers.
The "Second Hand" is actually a part of the stop watch function and should be stationary at the noon mark.. it never moves unless activated.
If you remove the bracelet... the Rolex serial number will be engraved very smoothly between the lugs.. not etched..
Finally the best way to find out for sure is to have a jewler remove the back.. (which by the way if clear.. it's a fake).. and examine the movement. This is the best way.. and some fine jewlers that sell high quality watches will do this for free.. there are some good fakes out there.. if you plan on keeping it.. enjoy it as a fake.. if you plan on selling it.. have it verified.. however if I lost a watch this valuable.. I would have posted it in every lost and found medium available.. and offered a reward.
Good luck
Dear Sirs, I have a
This is a self winding watch and should run for 2-3 days when fully wound.
To wind it, wave it gently from side to side for about 200 times.
If you still have problems, speak to Rolex, they should be able to sort out your problem. (see rolex.com).
Skips time
If it is not a feature built in to the watch to save power when it needs winding, I would say it has a bad gear wheel inside.
I would go here, join, and ask in the Rolex Forum,

These guys are really knowledgeable.
It stops working it will not stay on the correct
This watch is a self winder and thrives on being used. When fully wound, they should run for 2-3 days and if they run right down then they need to be wound up and used to maintain operation.
I am not sure if this watch can be manually wound but try turning the crown in a clockwise direction. If this is not possible, to wind it up, wave it from side to side for a few minutes (200-300 times) and his should wind it sufficiently to run for a day or so.
Wearing the watch daily is sufficient to keep it going.
