Guys, never tried, do you reckon a Daytona can be manually winded?

Colnago · 23 July 2010, 06:14 PM

All Rolex watches (except quartz models) can be manually wound....

Andad · 23 July 2010, 06:14 PM

I don't think you can manually wind an automatic watch Bill.

But I have been wr...wro...wron...mistaken in the past.

Colnago · 23 July 2010, 06:17 PM

First stop out after unscrewing the crown...clockwise rotation winds any Rolex automatic watch....except the ones fitted with the quartz movements

(I am sure you were winding me up Eddie...pun intended)

Sorry, but no. Once it has stopped you must get rid of it. I will PM you my mailing address. I'll pay shipping...

Sure like others have said to manual wind give it around 50-60 full crown turns clockwise on the Daytona.On other Oyster Rolex around 40 turns you cannot over-wind so don't worry.And believe it or not thats why Rolex still gives you winding and setting crown.

Do that , send the claim to our forum owner , if he is in the same mood as he was yesterday when he receives it ... you'll have a field day

RolexADreal · 23 July 2010, 07:56 PM

i actually wound it for a while , more than 50 rotations... didn't get to the end... Should the crown stop winding it up at a certain point?

Colnago · 23 July 2010, 08:00 PM

Nope....as Padi said it's impossible to over-wind them....there's a slippinmg mechanism in there which will only allow a certain amount of tension to be put into the main spring then it slips to prevent over-winding

RolexADreal · 23 July 2010, 08:44 PM

txs Colnago... Actually if i'm not wrong, on my old Sub there was a "stop"...

Btw, it just was a curiosity, i normally wera my watches, so i don't really need to manually wind it!

Colnago · 23 July 2010, 08:48 PM

I'm no Sub' expert....I don't own one......but I would be surprised.....as far as I was aware all Rolex mechanical movements cannot be over-wound and do not have a "stop" point...unless something is wrong with them, then I suppose technically it could happen....someone else will no doubt chirp up and confirm....

GregWormald · 23 July 2010, 08:52 PM

I've wound my 1680 several times, and never noticed a stop. But then it's only 40 years old. :-)

Colnago · 23 July 2010, 08:54 PM

Ha ha.....it's a beaty as well Greg, just saw your other post....and very accurate

in that case, just make sure you swing your watch arms madly everyday for 40 times.. that'd keep the Daytona going all year long

I am a newbie... when you manual wind the Daytona by turning the crown CW are the hands supposed to move?

No, you've pulled it out one too many, the manual wind position is when you unscrew the crown and just feel it pop. Turn the crown away from yourself, and you should feel a slight resistance

How about on say a 6241 Daytona? How much should this be wound since it's manual wind?
