Hi I am new to Rolex. I have just purchased a brand new ladies date just on Saturday it was keeping time until I took it off Tuesday evening for bed. Put it at the side of me face up I went to pick it up and it was the right time put as soon as I picked it up it stopped this could have been a coincidence.
But had it on and it did start but delayed time wore for a couple of hours and had to take it off due to work. Put it back on last night time was perfect. Slept in it as I didn't want it to stop again. Got up this am and it's stop in the night about 3!!!! I am alarmed also upset.
Should I take it back ????
Please help.
Many thanks.

Welcome to the forum first did you fully wind your watch before you started to wear it ??.It will need around 40 full crown turns clockwise to fully wind to start wearing.Now depending on how long the watch was worn and wrist activity it will only top up to whatever the power reserve the mainspring had to start with.So its possible the mainspring just ran out of its power reserve,and while you were sleeping again not much activity to wind your watch.So even when worn if low activity it will do no harm whatsoever to give a full manual wind say once a week or more if not worn a lot.The automatic winding system winds by gravity via a weighted swinging pendulum so if low arm wrist movement your watch is not winding its just using whatever reserve was in the mainspring.

Wind it 40 times and it should run for approximately 48 hour when you're not wearing the watch, maybe you can buy a watch winder.
