Friends,

I have had my TT Sub for a week now and have this question.
Eveytime, I leave the watch untouched for a day or two, the watch stops.
I have to then reset the time, wind it and wear it.
Is this normal?
If I do not wear the watch on a daily basis, is it okay for it to stop, and for me to wind it every time I use it?
Please help.

Thanks

Your Rolex has a reserve of about 48 hours, if FULLY WOUND in the first place. I recommend winding it manually with about 40 turns of the crown after pulling the crown out to the first position. After that, if you don't wear it for a couple of days, it will wind down, and you will have to reset it and wind it again. As long as you are wearing it, the watch will continue to be wound by the perpetual rotor.

If this becomes a problem for you, you should look into a watch winder. I have one because I have four Rollies, and I like to have them wound and ready to go any time I want to wear them.

Hope this helps...

The Cal 3035 has a power reserve of around 42-48 hours when fully wound.And its perfectly fine to rest or wind your watch when not wearing for a few days or longer.Now if you plan not to wear watch for say a month or so, just a small wind once a month, is quite sufficient to keep movement in tip top condition. And the oil fully circulated around the moving parts.

Yup if it really bothers you, you can get a cheap watchwinder.

Hi Venkat,

Try this simple experiment....

Give the watch a full 40~45 turns of the crown....which will mean its mainspring is fully wound.

Make a mental note of the time and date, and keep the watch aside for TWO days. After 2 days, note the time and date when the watch has stopped.

Realistically, you should have gotten at least 46 hours of working time out of your watch. Let us know how it works out.

Cheers - JJ
