runninhorn Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 I take it off on Thursdays and when I go to get it on Mondays, it is always about 6 hours behind. Could it be the battery? Had it now for 1 month. Also, if it is, will any jewelry shop put a new battery in or should I ship it back to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flavor flav Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 all eddie lee sells is automatic rolex reps. there is no battery dude.... that's pretty much what we are obsessed with here..... mechanical marvels. look up "watch winders" on ebay and get one for yourself. your watch is mechanical and runs off a spring which is wound by a spinning rotor moved by your wrist movement. they will run 1-3 days once you take it off then stop as there is no wrist movement to keep the rotor spinning winding the spring. the watch winder will keep the watch in motion so it will have a full wind when you go to wear it. remember.......batteries=quartz or electric(old) and quartz=junk. automatic is what real rolex uses.

It had occured to me to do this but it seemed quite tight and I didn't want to force it in case I broke the stem. But hey presto a little extra force and it came. All seems well now. Thanks pal. By the way.........are these watches battery powered? And require no winding? jonthebhoy Noob... LMAO TT Edit: Love ya Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robertk Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 You don't need a new battery. All you need to do is keep turning the crown and it will wind your battery back up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falco Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 better runninhorn asked the question here than your watchsmith He'd probably charge you for replacing the non-existant battery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bklm1234 Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 (edited) runninhorn is a classic. below are quotes of his infamous "taking his tt sub to an AD for mods". runninhorn, since september, have you learned anything about reps? Do you know what a mechanical watch is? Automatic doesn't mean battery-powered nor chipmunk powered. Read more. Else you're providing comic relief and don't know the joke is on you. -bm Just bought a tt rep rolex sub from Eddie Lee. Love the watch, looks great, but would like a few small mods done to the watch. Does anyone here recommend anyone to do the mods? Just wondering, thanks. Took it to my local rolex dealer but he wanted an arm and a leg. Yes, my local dealer I took it to, he was adjusting the band for me and said to bring it back anytime to get the band changed out and if i wanted any mods done to it, it would void the warranty but he would still do it if I wanted it done. You smell something fishy here? What the heck kind of reply is that? I posted a question with the facts, and you draw that kind of conclusion? That comment by you was just plain stupid. dude your such an idiot. STFU. I took it to a dealer and know what he said. Quit spouting BS.

longshot Posted February 4, 2007 Report Share Posted February 4, 2007 i guess we are supposed to believe that between september and now it kept running from thursday till monday? if it sounds like a troll and posts like a troll (or a 12 year old) well...
