Hi,
Troubleshooting guide said to check if rotor spins when winding, if it does, there is a problem with the reversing wheel/gear assembly. Mine does not exhibit that symptom....

hold on first, on what basis are you saying that the watch does no auto wind ? What makes you think so?

Watch will not start when I rotate it to wind rotor.
All of my automatics do. Only if I hand wind watch will it start.
If I wind it to get it started, wearing it will not increase or sustain the power reserve. The rotor is hollowed out.. I had trouble with an ARF Daytona with the light weight rotor, but that one would start, just have poor power reserve when wearing. I wonder if the light weight rotor has something to do with it...

Hi, yes...I have an embarrassing number of automatic watches...every single one except this one will start up and run with a few "swirls" in fact, I never wind my automatics (except this one) Once I wind this one for a while, it will run for up to 32 hrs on its own. However, I continued to wear this one after wound, and it stopped after 33 hrs. My dailey activities usuall y include a 2.4 mi jog, as well as other activities.
I had the same issue with an IWC big pilot. The issue on mine was that the rotor was unscrewed. After screwing it properly winding when wearing it worked as expected.
