20 Most Recent Rolex Lady Datejust 179173SRJ Watch for Women Questions & Answers

After you unscrew the crown it is already in winding position. If you pull the crown, it will go to the date setting position. Further pull of crown will set it in time setting position. Try to pull the crown till you get it in correct date setting position and change the desired date. Do not use the date setting between 10pm - 2am, as this can damage date mechanism. The best way is to pull out crown to the time setting position and set the time to 6.30(anytime) and then push the crown in to date setting position and change the date to the previous day's date. Then again pull the crown out to the time setting position and advance hands forwards (clock wise) till hands pass 12.00 (midnight) and the date changes automatically to the desired one, then adjust the time, push the crown fully in and screw the crown on.

You bend it , literally take hold of the inside arch and bend it with your hands in not out this shortens the , the length and helps it close .

I have the same watch 20 years old. I cannot wind this watch. it is self winding , which is generated by arm or wrist movement. i purchased a box for times I won't be wearing. Will rotate watch 5 minutes every hour ( belt driven- only use that other winders say gear my experience is belt drive more reliable) if you have to wind this watch I would question if it is real Rolex.

It needs to be worn to self wind. I actually bought a winding box so I put watch away it will be turned as if on your wrist. These vary and having owned a couple of winders I chose one that is belt driven, found on Amazon. if you wear it to sleep it may wind down. Playing video games ,little wrist motion, may find it stopped. you mentioned someone to.d you it was fully wound! How can they tell. I cannot wind mine if yours needs winding from stem you may not have real Rollex.

try winding by using the crown see how long it goes for it may be the bob weight is not working or as come loose

you cant check a serial number if Rolex dealer checks it he has to keep it if the watch is stolen Thanks Watchfinder Sean

Luke, the serial number is located between the lugs at the 6 marker.You need to remove the wristband at that point to see it. The model number is located at the 12 marker.

This is the hint regardless of Rolex. Look at the second hand and watch the motion! Does it sweep or tick? If it ticks it is battery operated watch knockoff. Rolex is a self winding watch thus the second hand sweeps does not click each second.

You can, but putting in back on and not cross threaded is a lot more difficult, plus it has a sealing gasket that need replacing. If you want to play with a $10,000 watch, fine. :>) Hold the watch firmly, turn the ball to the left until it starts to unscrew. Keep going until you can grip the back of the watch with your fingers and turn it some more. Pull the back off.
