The Watch Thread - Part 11

[slow_mo]

Even for automatic rolex watches... the mfg instruction for winding and time adjustments are as follows:

1) shake the watch a couple of times. The second's hand should start moving.
2) unscrew the crown and wind the watch about 15 to 20 times.
3) adjust your hour and minutes hands accordingly
4) screw back the crown fully
5)you're ready to enjoy your rolex

Note A: For watches with day, date features, avoid adjusting the time between 9/10 o'clock to 2/3 o'clock range, as this might damage the watch mechanisms for the day/ date features.

Note B: best to read the user instruction manual provided and follow the "Care and maintenance guide" given by the mfger.

Didn't know that the second hand has to start moving before time adjustment!

Heng that I always like to see the second hand move before adjusting time!

I also normally adjust time first then wind 10 turns for my fully stopped automatic. Had to send one watch back for servicing due to lubricant dried up. Heng under warranty.

Once received a new Stowa automatic. Same adjust timing then manually wind up until FULL. 3 days later found the watch stopped even when it is in a winder. Had to send back for warranty repair.

Today then I know the correct procedure. Luckily most of my automatic are in winder.

Actually it's not a must.
I think he might have over wound the watch somehow

Yes1705.... send your watch for servicing.

By setting the time on your eta 2824-2 movt not according to the manufacturer's instructions, you might have spoilt the clutch lever which gives the owner that "physical feedback" whenever he/she winds up the crown.

Thanks for the suggestions and input. Overwind, probably not the case. Because I always stop winding right after I hear the first click of the gear clutch I encounter.

I suspect rather is the mainspring winding mechanism is not working properly because I had set the time first on my fully stopped automatic watch then I manually wound it up. My mainspring may not be fully wound even though I encounter the gear clutch.

Yah, I would have to bring in the watch to have it checked soon.

Now I monitor the power reserve capacity see if it runs at least 24 hours on a "fully wound" sitting idle. It is 12 hours since I sat the watch idle.
