Should I manually wind

[mohillips]

Hey everyone,

Am new to this watch game and am rocking a DJ41 126300.

Should I ever manually wind it if wearing everyday?

I wouldn't think I need to

None of mine need it but I wind them from time to time, kind a like the feel of how the clutches engage and the butter smooth operation if that makes any sense.

Besides, the rotor is for keeping the spring under tension more or less as it is and not to fully wind it is what I believe.

I just wind it fully once and if I'm wearing it everyday, it never needs to be wound again until I put it back in the safe and rotate to another. No need to wind it every night, unless your literally barely moving throughout the day, which is unlikely.

Correct

Your Rolex may or may not require manual winding after the initial full wind (40 turns of the crown). It all stems from your level of wrist activity (dirty minds need not apply )

[Rocket_Man]

I wind it when I set the time, which is pretty seldom. Normally at the end of each month I might need to change the date, adjust the time, wind it up.

[fania123]

I keep mine on winders so no worry there.

It will do no harm whatsoever to manual wind say once a week or so even if worn,many are not active enough to fully wind the mainspring to full peak power reserve. Yes they will be ticking but thats all,just think of all the manual wind watches with screw down crowns Rolex included, they got wound almost daily for decades.

The rotor will fully wind it if until the mainspring slips in the barrel if you are reasonably active during the day.

Exactly

[jareemy8]

Just my personal opinion, manually winding my watches allows me bond with them over time.

[Calatrava r]

Should be unnecessary. If it is, due the watch stopping with daily wear, the watch is not working right.

Bear in mind not everybody is a candidate for an automatic timepiece. If you have a very sedentary lifestyle and tend not to use your arms otherwise in regular ranges of active motion and swinging, even daily wear may not be enough to wind the watch. An example might be a person who just wears the watch to sit at a desk and spends most of the time in the same position. Then you should wind.

[othertbone]

I believe watches are not as accurate when the power reserve is low, so if your activity does not keep the mainspring reasonably powered, performance may suffer. So give it a full charge now and then. Can't hurt imo.

[Dirt]

As it has been stated before.
It really depends upon your level of activity.
Assuming you are wearing the watch for the bulk of the day. If you're living a sedentary lifestyle it may not maintain its state of wind. If you are active, it may reach a full wind in a matter of hours on the wrist from a dead stopped condition.

Try experimenting with it yourself and get to know your personal situation.
For example, I can put any dead stopped Automatic wind watch on in the morning and wear it for 8 hours in a normal day. At the end of the 8 hour period, the watch is typically at or very near the fully wound condition. But that's just me.
Your experience may or will likely differ.

No, do not be manipulating your crown and winding. Don't develop an unnecessary habit that will over the years wear parts of your watch for no reason.

Nice watch and great choice of your 1st Rolex. Blue dial looks great. I purchased my blue DJ41 2 weeks ago just with Roman numbers. There has been some serious demand for DJ41 latelly (especially blue and rhodium dial). PPL were complaining there are no steel Rolex in ADs, only ladies watch and DJs. Now you might wait even 1 year for some DJ. I had a duscussion with SA and he told me Rolex lowered the production of DJ. So lower production + higher demand after ss shortage = DJ waitinglists.

[GradyPhilpott]

My North Flag is the only watch I have with a power reserve sub-dial, so it's the only one I can speak quantitatively about, but the power reserve can be down to less than half and on a typical, active day, the rotor will provide a full wind.

If I'm wearing the watch regularly, the watch won't get below about a half wind, so that works fine.

When I pull the watch out of storage, I give it a full wind and that's the only time, until it goes back to the bank.

[Wedders]

I think if you are not wearing the watch for some time, let it stop to stop the wear rate.
When you are not using your car you don’t leave the engine running or get someone to drive it for you. It wouldn’t last long if you did.
Let it stop and wind it when you want it. Just my opinion I will get slated for.

Complete and utter nonsense.

[Boaters]

I like winding my watches manually.

[Verdi]

We buy automatic watches so we don't have to wind them every day. .

So, no, you do not have to.....but you may choose to do so as it is your watch!

Sure why not
No harm will come to it. It's not necessary if you where it everyday or every other day

The crown is usually considered a "wear part" anyway and often replaced during routine service.

Mine barely lose any time on the wrist and overnight but 24 h in the safe and they drop a few seconds.

[Laszlo]

If I’m rotating and one may seem close to emptying reserve I’ll manually wind may 30 turns before wearing it.

So, screwing and unscrewing the crown and manipulating it thousands of times causes no wear? Good to know.

There won't be any need for that on my watch.
