The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

[bdavro23]

Fellas......have a question for those who might know: my Submariner ref 114060 doesn’t seem to hold its power reserve for more than 24 hrs. I just bought it in August 2020 from Wempe NYC.

I’m not sure if this is an actual performance issue or something I’m doing/not doing but I could wear the watch all day and let it sit overnight for about 12 -14 hours and it will stop ticking.

If anyone can shed some light before I contact the AD/Rolex it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try winding it 20-30 times tomorrow morning, see if the same thing happens. If it does, you have a problem. If it doesnt, you probably arent moving enough throughout the day to wind the rotor.

I’d contact the AD. Rolex says it should be around 70 hours.

I don’t think that reference has the 70 hour reserve movement in it, although I could be wrong.
Even so, it should be longer than 24 hours.

I didn't realize Chopard and Kiton did a cobranded piece. What do folks think of it?

Pretty mediocre and uninspired to me. And with the notable exception of the Explorer, I dislike the mixing of the numerals and stick indexes. Also the official description refers to "sprezzaturra", so, you know...

Still mostly wearing the Apple Watch for the biometrics but dug this out of the drawer today and it made me happy enough that I've still got it on.

Don't you know that you can go anywhere and sell your Rolex for enough to get a plane ticket home?

You joke, but I knew guys who worked in those certain restricted parts of a few American embassies (not me) who wore Rolex precisely because they considered it "liquid currency on their wrist" that they could cash in anywhere.

You ever think about getting the bracelet for the ROO?

Thanks for this......I’ve probably never wound it since I bought it. I wound it about 40 times just now so let’s see what happens tomorrow.

Yup. The 42mm bracelet is a beautiful thing. To date, have not got my **** together enough.

I had the same problem a few months ago with my Jan 2020 - 114060. I read through a lot of TRF and some posters suggested that 'people didn't move around enough'. Well I didn't want to send in my brand new watch to get serviced during COVID, so I just kept using it.

In the last few months I switched from wearing my watch on my left wrist to my right wrist for various reasons. I never had the issue with the watch stopping overnight again and has held its power without issue.

My thinking is that I'm a desk-diver and I use my right hand at work much more and keeps it wound, while I don't use my left hand as much not topping up the power reserve.

I hope this helps out because it was a big relief not to have to send it to RSC.

Watch more Appreciation with your watch on the hand that you use.

Now you're just asking for premature damage to the seals.
