Rolex winding?

[Ayahuasca]

How long should a watch run for if not worn, and how many winds do you give yours?

My Sea Dweller seems to give up after just a day. Is that normal?

[Chessers]

Mine normally run for a couple of days (ish).

[Debaser]

Do you know which movement yours has? The older 3135 should last 48 hours when fully wound. The new 3235 should last 70 hours.

[Debaser]

Also, I never hand wind mine. Wearing it and doing anything more active than lying on the sofa all day is enough to keep it wound.

[Dolf Stoppard]

Forty to fifty turns should fully wind the watch. It should then easily run for more than a day - even if not worn. Wearing it for most of the day and normal activity should mean it never needs winding. If yours is stopping after a day then I'd suggest it needs servicing.

Pay all that for a watch and you take it off for a day or 2 and you need to reset the time & wind it up. Madness. Rolex need to get with the times & have it battery powered. Imagine if new BMWs needed a starting handle.
