Okay, I purchased my first Rolex, a Submariner Date, about five months ago. All of a sudden, it just stopped working a couple of weeks ago. It has since been shipped out to be fixed under warranty a week ago. There is no way this is normal, correct?

No, it's not normal.

Not much information to really make a comment,you say it just stopped.Did you give it a full manual wind to try and start it 40 full crown turns.?.But in general Rolex watches are very very reliable and seldom go wrong at all.

In 30 plus years of buying/selling and wearing my Rolex watches I have never ever had an issue so No it is not normal!

Do I sense a 'Curmudgeon' invasion is the answer goes a certain way here Bob

Was this a new Sub C or a pre-owned 16610? If it was pre-owned, how old is it and has it ever been serviced?
