i buy rolex and its not working

[anderson 55]

the needles not move its dead

 

[P..DR..D]

Have you wound the watch fully?

When wound fully, set the time and screw in the crown in.

One of the subdials should begin moving. That is the seconds hand.

I'm not 100% familiar with gold Daytonas, but is this a 4130 movement or 7750? Link to watch?

If a 4130, the big needle and some of the dials will work, when you engage the chrono.

If a 7750, 2 of your subdials will likely be fake.

And that's the extent of my Daytona/watch knowledge.

“Hello i buy watch rolex daytona 116508 for 489,97 dollars on day 01/18/2023”
I’m assuming it’s a 7750 for that price, so subdials 3 and 9 non functioning.

 

[P..DR..D]

Cool, thanks @g00n

To the OP, wind it fully, screw in the crown and the bottom subdial should move.

Best of luck.

I remember on one of the forums that a new member was unaware of the fact that he had to unscrew the crown before winding it to get some reserve into it. Furthermore he thought that the large sweep hand was the base seconds hand and was expecting it to be moving.

I’m not treating the OP as an idiot but if he has never experienced a timepiece like this, hopefully this will clarify things.

P..DR..D pretty much covered it but to be clear:

1. Unscrew the crown (button). From the image it looks to be unscrewed already as I can see a seal.

2.Wind it for around 30 turns.

3.Set it to time by pulling the crown/button out one notch.

4.Push back the crown and screw it back into place.

5.Check the three sub dials; one of them should be moving, recording the seconds.

The large hand currently set at the 12 o’clock position is the chronograph seconds hand. That will not move unless it is activated by the smaller button at 2’oclock.

THIS.

@anderson 55 what exactly is not working? Try to be more specific

 

[KushBandit]

Apl these guys have covered pretty much everything needed, I'll add 2 more things.

1. Sometimes you need to give the watch the ol' "Seiko Shake" to get it going after you wind it up.

2. The A4130 from ARF is a thinned down 7750. 7750s are not a great movement, and could have arrived DOA.

now i have other problem the needle in the 12 not moving

 

[P..DR..D]

I'm tagging @domiffm in on this one to explain chrono and the big needle (that's the new technical term btw )

The top pusher starts the chronograph, which is when the longer seconds hand at 12 will begin to move. You need to push it again to stop the longer seconds hand.

The bottom pusher resets the chrono seconds hand back to 12.

The subdial at 6 is your seconds hand for the actual time of day. The subdials at 9 and 3 are fake, and won't move.

Nah, not stupid, just new to you Sir.

Enjoy your new watch

It happens to the best of us.

Just a heads up, don't use the chrono function too much. The 7750 is a fragile movement.

THIS - ALL DAY LONG THIS

Tbh, I wouldn't touch the chrono on a 7750, I'm a scaredy cat though.
