Look for a tiny, clear plastic spacer washer on the stem and remove it. this is just thick enough to prevent the stem from being pushed all the way in. this is factory placed to prevent inadvertent turn on during shipping.

Why doesn't it keep running?
It needs to be worn to self wind. I actually bought a winding box so I put watch away it will be turned as if on your wrist. These vary and having owned a couple of winders I chose one that is belt driven, found on Amazon.
if you wear it to sleep it may wind down.
Playing video games ,little wrist motion, may find it stopped.
you mentioned someone to.d you it was fully wound! How can they tell. I cannot wind mine if yours needs winding from stem you may not have real Rollex.

Everytime my self winding runs down, why do I spend hours trying to get started again?
An automatic watch receives it power from the mainspring, which is wound by hand (most watches) and from movement of the arm which causes the Oscillating Weight to spin around and wind the mainspring. The problem is that it takes many, many rotations of the weight to put enough winds on the mainspring to keep it going. If you have not worn the watch for 24 hours you need to put initial winds on the mainspring, either by turning the crown or by swinging the watch around 30-40 times. If the watch is in good mechanical condition, once you put the initial winds on it, you can put it on your wrist and it should run overnight if taken off. Most older Seiko watches cannot be wound by hand.

Bulova wristwatch marine star waterproof 100 m I would like to know what this watch is worth
The watch is worth what someone will pay for it. It is a better quality quartz watch but used. Check ebay for prices and add 20 bucks if you have the boxes and papers. If you decide to sell on Ebay use multiple pictures and nice, crisp in focus pics. Put a new battery in and hope for the best. Good luck, Michael

I have bought a new daytona but after every few hours it just stops anf i have to reset it again.its quite frustrating
A Rolex watch is automatic.It needs to be worn 8 hours per day to store enough power to run 36 hours off the wrist.Assuming that you are wearing the watch daily if it still stops there is a problem with the auto winding or mainspring.As a new watch it will be under the Rolex guarantee so return it to the place of purchase.If you dont have a guarantee contact www.rolexrepairs.co.uk for advice or a free estimate.

I just bought a Raymond Weil Automatic Tradition 2834-ST-00200. It is almost new in the box, only worn a couple of times. The problem is when I take it off at night it isn't always running in the morning....
Self winding mechanism is not working properly. To avoid this just wind the watch back and forth 10 times before you go to bed. Rate me, plz.

The buckle fell off the band
Hi Kap2000

I know it's frustrating and I work in the industry the only thing I can suggest is to a Contact the manufacturer directly or try ebay for replacement bands? and Then rob the buckle off the new one to fit the old, so you still have the gift you gave to your husband?

Model numbers would be useful if you wanted to email me I can try and help out further? (however in australia!)

Try replacing the battery.. Did you use Paypal... if the battery doesn't fix it... Contact the seller... ask for a refund (UNLESS - it said "as is - no warranty") .. then Use Paypal's services to get your money back

If not worn, you should wind it about 50 turns before wearing. If worn every day after, and you are active you shouldn't have to wind it again. If you wear it every once in awhile, then about 50 turns should do. What happens is people think that when they put on their automatic watch, and it starts it is going, but it needs that back-up power to run correctly and not run slow.

The watch stopped working
The Tag Heur repair center says an automatic watch must go through an "initiation" process. They recommend winding manually 40 revolution of the crown clockwise. You must wear an automatic watch at least eight hours per day. Repat the initiation if the watch is not worn for 20 hours or so.
