It depends on how much time the automatic winding mechanism rotated on the hand before taking it off.If the main spring is fully loaded and the watch is in good condition then it should work about 50 hours.

It looks like model 16234, with a jubilee strap. Looking at the dial I would say , 2006 year.

smash it with a hammer and see if theres a battery in it

Its time for a service. Take it to any Rolex re-seller that offers repair or to any good timepiece service center. If its a vintage piece i would recommend sending it to Rolex, paying the extra cost to receive the watch with full Rolex repair documents and service history. The Rolex web site has information on this. Also this company does a fine job on Rolex repair. https://www.bobswatches.com/rolex-repair-service .

Pull the right post out. It may first have to be unscrewed to unlock it. Pull it out one click to set the date, two clicks to set the time. I recommend setting the time first and go all the way past 12 to see if you are on AM or PM (the date will advance or won't). Set the time correctly, then push the stem in one click and set the date. Push the stem in all the way and then turn it to wind. You can't over wind an automatic watch but always use gentle pressure to avoid damage.

well if theres a dial you can turn turn it a bunch of timers if it starts working its a manual if not its battery not hard to figure that one out smh people now adays

This my be fixable, take it to a good repair shop. The clasp itself can be replaced, again a good repair shop can do this. A Rolex clasp can cost $$. A non Rolex clasp may be the way to go.

Debbie is the watch definitely genuine?It is a common fault on fake Datejust's..is the crown completely out?

Unbuckle the clap, Take your 2 fingers and squeeze it the ends of the clasp together. Do a little bit at a time. Until it firmly clips and stays on.

It depends on the model and if it relates to 1960's in its clasp there are some holes to expand the wrist band but you can expand it more by adding reserve piece that you can buy (if you don't have it) from watch makers or authorized retailers. Please be careful because they have tiny screws and are very expensive especially those which are belongs to two tone watches.

Rolex is mechanical timing, not really accurate. Phone watch is timed by quartz crystal and may even be corrected by atomic clock on the internet.

When the train wheels that absorb force from the mainspring don't move it means that there is a debris among them and it needs complete service .

after screwing the crown out we have first, second and third positions . If the movement calibre is 1570 the second position is for setting the time and if the movement is 3035 the third position is for setting the time.

on 1570 movements there is no quickset feature therefore you must turn the hour hand 24 hours to change the date but 3035 and other later movements equipped with quickset wheel and if you pull out the winding crown you can change the date.

mcdevito75 here, Yes it is normal, especially if your Rolex is an automatic watch. The motion of your Wrist / Hand keeps your watch wound thru the Counter balance on the movement, as the counter balance turns it winds the mainspring little by little, thus keeping your watch wound. Once you take off your watch, if long enough the mainspring simply un-winds and slows and will eventually stop your watch completely. You can keep your Rolex wound even when you take it off by means of a watch winder, a small machine that will keep your watch in motion, or by hand, by rocking the watch back and firth in your hand for about 30 seconds, say before you gpo to bed at night, this way there is always some wind to your watch.

mcdevito75 here, Baseball park figure would be, $125.00--------$175.00 Rolex may want the entire watch to change the crystal, specially if you have a warrantee. Check your local jeweler or our repair service directory here at fixya at the bottom of this page.

If we are talking about 30/60sec per day then a regulation can be done.If you are talking of 30 mins per day there is a problem.Either way you need a Rolex watchmaker,if the watch is 4/5 years old then it may be time to service the watch.
