Issue with Rolex Daytona
Discussion
My 2008 Daytona has recently been having issues where it stops for a period of time.
It's as if it isn't holding a charge from winding or isn't self winding. There is no pattern for this and it can run fine for a few days, it's a bamford so taking it to an official rolex service centre might not be an option.
Anyone got any ideas what this could be?

RSC won't touch it, as you say.
If under 2 years old Bamford themselves will sort it, but they'd be who I call first either way. It simply sounds like it needs servicing, one of the springs is gummed up.
If they give you the runaround, then you need a an official and friendly Rolex Authorised repaired like Superlativetime or Watchfinder.

It’s over 2 years old and i was not the original purchaser from bamford so they can’t help unfortunately.
The gummed up spring sounds like it could be the problem as i can feel a lot more resistance when winding it up compared to my sub which has little to no resistance. It’s not what i’d expect from a lightly used 10k+ watch to be honest, is this a common problem with daytonas?
I’d rather avoid posting the watch so will try and find a local specialist that can have a look at it for me and take it from there.

I had the exact same issue not long ago on a daytona. Was the reverse balance (or reverse rotor?) needed adjustment.

Did you buy from a dealer or privately? If from a dealer, you may have recourse under the SoGA regardless of time lapse. Is the watch fit for intended purpose? If not, you may have a case. Good luck!Gassing Station | Watches | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
