Question on a Rolex Daytona 116519LN.Notice that while winding watch, out of Safe not used for 2weeks, some grinding and is not even or feels the same while winding and occasionally winds without grinding.
Think is not normal have anyone have or heard about it ?

WatchOut4It · 15 August 2019, 12:54 PM

Doesn’t sound right to me. I will say that the crown on my 116519LN is more “firm” than my LVc or BLNR, but that results in smoother winding. Consider stopping by your AD to see if they can take a look. Grinding in the winding isn’t good.

Etschell · 15 August 2019, 01:22 PM

Not sure what you mean. It should have resistance when winding.

holdtime · 15 August 2019, 01:47 PM

There’s definitely something grinding when winding.
Will take in tomorrow to AD.I am sure they going to send back to Rolex.it is only 2 months old.Talk to AD Not very helpful.so much for quality control.Not happy with Rolex.

yOyOYoo · 15 August 2019, 02:21 PM

Rolex should be able to sort this out. Keep us updated.

onesixeight · 15 August 2019, 03:03 PM

I noted that too, compared to the SS 116500LN, the gold models have a more rough, resistant feeling. I don’t think anything is wrong but I did notice it two between the Two Daytona models I have.

holdtime · 16 August 2019, 02:01 PM

Visit AD today it is officially broken! 5 months old!
It will take Till Sep 25 estimated.
So much for quality control.NOT happy with Rolex.very disappointed.

Not good.....perhaps its all that grinding whilst winding you've been doing.....good luck with the repair im sure itll be perfect when you get it back so long as it going back to rsc

Frendrick · 16 August 2019, 05:28 PM

My 500c just came back from RSC. When I was winding it, some gears seems to stuck, it feels rough and stiff. Then I couldn’’t adjust the minute, when adjusting the minute, the minute hands flicks without moving. Send it to RSC, they said some gears need replacement, took around a month. 1.5years old daytona, Think I’m just being unlucky.

jimcameron · 16 August 2019, 05:45 PM

I'd be pissed too. It will get sorted.

Sorry it happened to you, It is not about luck is quality Control,This should not be possible not even on a Timex.
Rolex is getting to Proud and very Arrogant.as for me Iam done with the brand Rolex.never again.

holdtime · 17 August 2019, 12:19 AM

Maybe Rolex is Manufacture in CHINA.
Just to make sure to keep the price and Quality Low

You make it sound like is my fault. .perhaps its all that grinding whilst winding you've been doing......"
what I suppose to do not wind it?just keep it in the safe?

Muxi · 17 August 2019, 12:32 AM

How bad is the “grinding” feel? I have 3 Daytonas and they have some winding feel differences. However, none can be characterized as grinding in my assessment

You're just unlucky. This stuff happens with any watch brand, don't make a big deal out of something so trivial.

It happens.

It's unfortunate, but no product in the history of humanity has had a 0% failure rate.

Frustrating for sure, but I'm sure it will come back working perfectly.

richard371 · 17 August 2019, 05:26 AM

This is a pretty common issue with the 4130. I’ve seen several posts about this. Happened to me on a 116520. I took it to the rsc and they lubed it. Said the lube had dried. Strange.

Oil dry up. and only 5 Months old, and with synthetic oils hard to believe.
Bu, I do not know if Chines on the Rolex assembly line will use approved oils.

richard371 · 17 August 2019, 06:49 AM

Mine was only a year old. They may have been wrong about the oil dry up but they lubed it an it came back silky smooth.

Mr Perfect · 17 August 2019, 06:56 AM

Dodgy reversers probably. Likely nothing to do with the 'oil'. It happens.

klenboy · 17 August 2019, 07:32 AM

My Black SS Daytona C is also the same. The watch is 6 mos. old. When winding there is a slight gritty feel then it smooths out as it fully winds. Quite unusual but I didn't think it's a serious issue. Still keeps great time.

Yes I think is serious .
The gritty feeling (grinding) I imagine is gears slipping,And small teeth and or shavings going out and the mess will only continue to get worst.
Bad part is they estimate 6 weeks return.
So why do it Right the first time if you get to do it Again. Rolex new Quality Control Motto.
Chines Manufacturing Machine needs serious adjusting.

Not a big Deal. Something so Trivial.

Mate you have a faulty watch, it happens, let it go.
I know it is frustrating, especially considering it takes weeks and you paid a lot of money for that watch. But bashing the brand on the internet isn't going to solve anything.

My Casio comment is just as big nonsense as your quality control/ chinese machine comment. The PM however you sent me I should report you for...

It is a private message. DO what you want. to make you think how irrational you sound.
As per "bashing the Brand" well they deserve it.
You do not wait Months for a watch then.after a handful of times wearing it.Brakes.and the wait continues...
Maybe assembled in China or Europe I do not know. But there are people with a screw driver calling themselves "Watchmakers"
So have a good day.

Bro, it’s just a watch. That’s why it comes with a warranty. Chill out.
