They are automatic though, so all you have to do is wear it and it will keep ticking.
It's not like you have to wind it every other day. Wearing it and moving around will keep it going. |

You buy a $4000 minimum watch, you can afford a $100 winder.

One thing about a Rolex is, you can leave it in the safe for months to years on end, take it out,
rewind and its gtg. Try that with a battery watch. |

TBH, I have several times and haven't had a problem. The only difference was that they weren't in a safe. One was in the bottom of a backpack, another in a boat and one in a plane. |

I never take off the one I wear, and never wind the ones I don't. If I were to take mine off, it'd probably stop in about 36 hours if I had to guess. (more than one day, less than two)

'86 GMT Master II about 48+ hours. I recently left mine for a weekend and I thought I got over 2 days, but didn't get an exact duration.

Thanks for the responses. In my controlled test it lasted about 1.5 days. It has never been serviced. Service is about $900 but wanted to ask the ARF if 1.5 is normal for it not being used. My daily watch is a TAG. My watch service advisor said that it should get serviced every 4 to 5 years...

I believe they state 40 hours for most of their non-chrono movement pieces.
1.5 days seems about right. How is it keeping time when worn? If within a couple of seconds a day of an atomic clock, it's likely just fine for now. |

My Seiko auto lasts around a day and a half if left unattended. |

I get 2 days give or take. If it's keeping good time then you don't really need to get it serviced. I've had mine since '97 and still works perfect. Never bothered with having it opened up for service. A Rolex dealer told me if it's working leave it alone unless I just wanted to give him money.

I did try that but I couldn't figure out how to rewind the battery But seriously, you should keep the automatic watches either hand wound or in a winder. Otherwise the oil can pool and/or harden leaving uneven places on the sub-mechanisms thereby messing up the regulation. |

There's something inherently retarded about putting on your $5000 watch monday morning, and having to go find a clock or cellphone to set it to the correct time and wind it up.
It's equally silly to have to place it on a contraption that wiggles it around all weekend for you.

Service by Rolex can vary greatly, due to wear, the seals, etc. Used to be, you could find a Rolex jeweler and have them service it, cleaning usually, and get it cheaper. The problem is, Rolex has cut down on sales of parts, etc. thus forcing most Rolex dealers to send it to them. I had mine serviced by Rolex about 3 years ago after a little over 26 years of wearing it and doing nothing to it. It cost me $1700. I did find a local retired guy who was Rolex authorized who would clean one for about $250, but if it needed any parts, he couldn't get them from Rolex anymore and was dependent on his old stock of parts. |
