Quick Question
Hey ya'll,
I am new to the Rolex family, so pardon my dumb question. Just got a Submariner V and am curious how much do I wind it? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks so much |

Give it 40 turns of the winding crown in the winding position... then you're sure it has full power reserve. Don't worry about "over winding" it because you cannot over wind a Rolex due to the safety clutch.

Even when worn it will do no harm whatsoever to give a full manual wind once a week or so to keep mainspring at peak power reserve.

Thank ya'll. Also, another question. Do the bracelets still have a part number on them? Mine is a 2008 and doesn't have a part number. Went and looked at a brand new one and didn't have a part number on the bracelet either.
