Automatic wind mechanism ,, Can I wind it manually ?

[joli160]

Yes, in fact you should from time to time.
Nice watch, bracelet needs a service as has been said.

I have done 100's of transactions on eBay both as a buyer and seller you have plenty of protection the key is common sense. You purchased from a vendor with a massive amount of positive feedback I think your worrying needlessly enjoy your new purchase

When you unscrew the crown it pops out. If you wind it clockwise there (without pulling it out further) you should feel like you're winding it. That's what you should do when you first get it, and every once in a while after. Just wearing it won't quite be enough to keep it going forever, especially if you don't wear it daily. It is not possible to overwind it, but 10-20 turns ought to do it for you.

I've bought prob 20 rolexes off eBay over the years and never had a problem.I always buy in my country USA,always buy from people with great feedback and longtime members.Paypal protection will reimburse you if you get ripped off.Lots of good dealers on eBay just do your research.

Well, this doesn't look good.
That was 4000$ not well spent.

Sounds like you just learned a $4,000 lesson.


And some other advice you may be needing...put the condom on BEFORE, not after.

[shinystarr]

is this a big problem ??

Wait until you get a quote to get it fixed, and you'll realize it's a big problem indeed.

[ferrissteve11]

I'd send it back....if its not right out the box than why mess with the hassle.

[TopNotchChach]

you could have gotten a deal like that on here.

I could create 20 fake accounts and one master seller account. Post fake ads, post fake shout outs and put the master seller on the trusted seller list - just waiting for the sucker to wire me $.

Ebay shows you the ranking in % of satisfaction of transaction. Every transaction.

You can make fake accounts but it's pretty easy to spot what's up. Nobody is buying a Rolex from a seller who's done a low amount of transactions.

That's pretty tight if you ask me. Ebay does a great job of shutting down theives, on both ends of the spectrum.

And if i'm one of the trusted sellers, I sell on TRF, ebay, amazon - every opportunity for someone to find my wares.

Remember, you're buying the seller - doesn't matter if you find him on his instagram page, the rolex forums, watchuseek, chrono24.com or ebay - if it's a legit dealer jump on it.

LOL it's ok. I pay with samsung pay as often as I can while my best friend thinks putting your credit card info on your phone is too risky. Do what you must in order to be comfortable.

100% right in my opinion!

Good luck. I don't think it will be an inexpensive fix. Let us know how it goes. I would send it back for a full refund if I was you and get one in much better shape for a similar price or slightly more.

Im from Abu Dhabi i use aramex shop and ship to buy from amazon.

The watch you bought has a lot of bracelet stretching.
The movement is broken. With that price it's not worth it..

With your money you can travel all the way here in Abu Dhabi and can buy second hand Rolex at local gold shop, with peace of mind.

[shinystarr]

I went For local whatchmaker they refuse to inspect it as they have no parts .. then I went to the Rolex AD and they inspected it and found to have setting wheel broken ..

[nursejm]

I think you got duped with the price you paid for that rolex. It's not worth it..

[shinystarr]

It is 400 - 500 USD more because of box and papers

[shinystarr]

The glass is not original and they want to replace is as a part of service .. that will cost 1000 USD more

Definitely return the watch, it's going to cost you a lot more in the long run.
