20 Most Recent Rolex Datejust SS Questions & Answers

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.

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.

Its time for a service. Take it to any Rolex re-seller that offers repair or to any good timepiece service center.

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.

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

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

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.

Unscrew the crown and then pull the crown out to the second click and turn. When done push the crown back in and screw the crown back down.

It is very important to screw the crown back down. If this is not done the watch is NOT water resistant.

Hope this helps.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
