What is the best way to store an automatic watch? Say if your in favour of one and want to keep other/others stored for a considerable time?

I have heard its best to have the winder fully extended (out)?

Jonny

Good job steve!!

Special thanks to Rikki for his very detailed input.

Thanks to all the TechXperts they have all been very constructive in educating us with the finer and most interesting technical aspects of the wonderful micro-machines that we all greatly appreciate.

2010 gmt masters 116710

Hi,
I wondered if anyone knew how I could purchase a replacement "security clasp" for Bracelet #78200. There is no damage to the watch and it's simple to affix a new one. However, I'm being quoted $475 by one authorized repair shop here in Chicago. I've contacted Rolex on Wilshire and they advised me a new replacement part woudl be $265. I don't feel like paying $200 for for 2 seconds of labor. Does anyone know where/how to obtain this clasp?
Mike in Chicago.

As someone who does all his own maintenance or god forbid repairs if need be on my own watches I really like the idea of a tech section for information like questions and answers to the "Nuts & Bolts" side of these watches !

Ladies rolex 2030

I am a lover of Rolex watches having owned a few. My wife is currently wearing a rolex 2030 that clearly does need a service. I do service watches as a hobby and have recently serviced my 3135. I have inspected the movement & for its age its looks really clean. However my only issue is how to regulate it as this is not a familiar set up I have encountered.I have a microstella tool if needed. Any advise would be most appreciated.

GMT Master ii 16710

Hi All,
I would like to introduce myself to you all as I’m new to the Rolex forum as I have just perchased a GMT Master 16710n 1999 to my collection of watches, I have a question to ask and I hope you don’t mind.
I brought the watch from a reputable jewellers last Thursday and I have noticed that the hour hand whilst setting the GMT function doesn’t move only the date so it’s impossible to set the time for another time zone, is this problem common on these watches or after reading up about this it could be that the movement isn’t a Rolex 3168? The watch is covered under warranty for a year from the shop I brought it from so I’m covered on that front.
Also if I was to take the watch to a Rolex shop is this something the could fix in the short term without sending it away to Rolex to be serviced as I am currently working on a super yacht and I won’t be returning to the uk until next year.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated and thank you for your time.
Many kind regards James
Ps I love this watch and I’m very happy with it on my wrist it looks amazing

Icon20 1960's vintage president bracelet (from 1803) compatible w/18238?

Howdy,
Hope I am initiating this request for info properly. I am fortunate to have an early 1803 with 1555 mvmnt and good condition president bracelet. Will this old bracelet properly fit a 18238?

Icon7 Abbreviation meanings

Morning all. As a newbie to the forum, I'm finding it a minefield, with all the abbreviations and nicknames used. Would it be possible to make a sticky, listing all the abbreviations and models nicknames?

Some are easy to guess, like BNIB, but I can't think what a PM is. Thanks to anybody who takes the time to post a meaning to an abbreviation or a nickname.
