Exchanges are less of a hassle than a watch that stops. I'd prefer and/ or demand an exchange. Did you buy new from an AD?

How many winds are you giving it??

cpa · 24 March 2011, 02:23 PM

the customary 2 to 3 minuets winding it up right. I bought on line from a jewler I have gone to for years, his suggestion is to wear it for a week keeping an eye on it. this doesn't jive with me it runs great when I don't wear it I sat with it while reading for several hours and it never stopped as soon as I put it one it stops shortly there after, I even had my wife wear it and it stopped on her. what the explative is wrong we are normal people with no extraordinary powers or problems

Is not normal, get it change.

always easier to get a replacement/repair than to wait outside the "doa" period (if there is one for watches)

Wit a Rolex, it is customary to give it only about 40 winds for a full power wind, not 2 or 3 minutes, although I suppose that you wouldn't do any real damage. Still, it is supposed to continue running when worn...

If the watch stops while wearing it, there is definitely something wrong.. perhaps a cracked jewel or bent staff that only stops the movement when subjected to certain forces... You need this one repaired..

Possibly a tooth on the calendar wheel is worn down and or the calendar jumper is stuck under the calendar causing it to be stuck. Rik
