Rolex ETA Issue

[red]

Sorry for the noob question, but I have a noob Sub here with Swiss ETA and it has a power reserve of about 4 hours.

How do I manual wind the watch?

Which position should it be in?

Wind up or down?

Thanks guys. I want to try everything before sending it to a watchsmith.

There is an entire section of this forum devoted to movement care, have you checked there yet???

You've been a member since '07 and aren't really a noob, so don't put yourself down

Pull the crown out to the 1st stop (winding position) & wind it, slowly/gently, 40 times. Set the watch on a table, dial up, & let it sit for about 36 hours. If it continues to run, then it is working. If not, it requires service. I would recommend that you read some of the noob guides that are pinned atop the Technical section.

Mods - I think these should be pinned atop every forum.

Thanks JoJo and Freddy.

Not a prob!

I usually just wind them enough to get them started, usually 4 turns or so
