I've always found this an interesting topic because I'm not more active than the average guy. I mean it's not like I spend 8 hours a day trying to start a lawn mower with my watch hand. Yet I've never had a Rolex that's being worn daily stop on my wrist. Even if it hasn't been wound in months.
I'm not a watch tech, btw.

My mother used to say that she new that she was really sick when her Rolex stopped... That is how inactive you need to be.

My 16613 never stops, but I never take it off either. From the posts, it sounds like many remove their watches at night. An elderly lady friend asked if she should send her SD in for service, as it often quit overnight. I asked why - habit. She began wearing it 24/7 and it never stopped again. She is active, but not physically.

I think you´ve misunderstood me. My watch has never stopped and I wear it every day. It´s just that when I take it off, sometimes after a while without motion it runs not for 48 hours, but for 42-44 hours.

If it were 30 or less I'd be worried. if 40+ hours after taking off, it would seem to be close to spec as wearing it is not an assurance of a "full wind". 42-44 is pretty darn close to the full reserve when you take into account diferent wearing habits movements, etc.

Never thought of winding. Occasionally I don't wear I over a weekend....or this week as I had surgery. Put it back on this morning and forwarded the time a couple of hours and scratched the dogs belly vigorously. Then played guitar for two hours. Keeps on ticking. Carry on. |

I've never manually wound a number of my automatics after unboxing, winding and putting on my wrist. If I don't wear it for a while, I just reset and put it on my wrist.

That seems pretty good to me. As mentioned, there's nothing guaranteeing a full wind from use.
