Hi - took it off for 36 hrs - never had an issue - oyster submariner not moving now ... thanks for your help

    Your watch need to be serviced. I recommend a cleaning, new mainspring and new gaskets and watertested. If you have had this done great, if you wind it to keep it runing this will damage the gears that operate your autowind feature and increase the cost of repairs. Hope this helps. Gabe.

This is a mechanical auto-wind watch. It self winds when worn. But if taken off for a couple of days it will have stopped and won't start running again unless it is wound.

Put it on and wear it for a few minutes. This will wind it enough to start it running again. Then set the time and wear it and you'll be fine.

Hope this helps.

What is the number 381 on the back of my watch mean

For Casio watches, the number on the back is the module number. For ROLEX I have no idea. Never saw one in my life.

How to manage your SUBMARINER's size to fit your wrist

Take of your ROLEX, look on the inside of the bracelet. Near the area where you have the crown, there is a miniature circle, push with your thumb on it with strenght, you will hear a click . You pull your bracelet , it will open, then you look on the sides of the bracelet, and you insert a needle into the little screws on both sides, and then you choose the size you wish for your watch , and then put the circle back and close everything again.

Rolex oyster submarine model 62510H .NEED TO KNOW THE YEAR

Actually the information from Ironfist109 is incorrect. Rolex has the serial number between the lugs at the six o'clock position. The number between the lugs at the 12 o'clock position is the caliber number. Shouldn't be anything on the caseback, very rare with Rolex. Often is a good indicator it may be fake actually!

Submariner-how do I open it? I dropped it, and one of the dots(#'s) dislodged on the face.

If it is a true Rolex they require a special wrench that grips the tiny serrations around the base of the back. You will need to take it to a watch repairman, the tool is very costly.
