What is the first thing I need to do when receiving the watch?
Upon receiving the watch, wind it. It is likely that the watch runs out of energy during the journey. Wind the watch for about 2 to 5 full 360 degree turns clockwise. It is about 10 our normal way of winding, assuming we wind 120 degree for each wind. If you know your watch is battery, there is no need to wind it. If your watch has a screw-tight crown, release it by turning it anti-clockwise until it is loosen. Then you can wind it for 20 - 30 times as mentioned. Once done, you can screw it tight by pushing it inside and turn it lock wise at the same time.
My watch is automatic, why it stops?
If it is an automatic watch and it runs on stored energy. It gains energy from human hand movement and winding. When you do not wear it and it runs out of stored energy, it stop. To make it run again, you have to shake it for 1 or 2 times. Then it will run again.
How do I set time?
To set time, you need to turn button in anti-clockwise direction if you have a screw-in lock watch. You need to softly pull the button out a little bit. The best way to do this is to use first and second finger and use finger knuckle as a lever in order to pull the button out with as little force as possible. You can feel a little "click"! Now you can set the time by turning it anti-clockwise. This would turn the minute-hour hands forward until you set the right time.
When time is set, push the button back and turning the button clockwise for a few rounds.
How does watch get energy to maintain movement?
There are a few kinds of watches:
1. Battery/ quartz watch: gets energy from battery, no need to wind at all.
2. Automatic & winding watch: get energy from both human movement and winding mechanism;
3. Winding & mechanical only: only gets energy from winding mechanism.
4. Non-winding: only gets energy from human movement. No winding is needed.
How do I set GMT and local time?
GMT means dual time zone and it usually use a 24 hour clock instead of a 12-hour clock we normally use. GMT can set two time zones. A local minute-hour hand time and a GMT (sometimes red) arrow second time zone. To adjust time: Unwind the button anti-clockwise softly and slowly until it is loosening up. There are two steps of pulling out the button stem. No force here and softly.
Step one is for setting the GMT second time zone. Step two is for setting the local time. Pull one step is to set GMT (clockwise) and Date (Anti-clockwise) by winding the button. Pull one more step is for setting local time. Pushing in inward one step will bring it back to GMT setting. Set local time first and then GMT second time zone. When you set local time, GMT time will also be changed together. When done with setting time, push button inward and then wind it clockwise until it is tighten and stops.
I have a battery watch, when is battery need to be replaced?
A battery normally last for two years. Depending on time of last replacement, you would probably need to change battery within two years.
What is Screw-in button? How does it different from others?
A Screw-in button will lock into the watch case when you turn the button clockwise toward the watch case. Then it will be locked and turn no more. Most Rolex use Screw-in button. When you want to wind your watch, you have to un-lock the button by turning the button anti-clockwise until you see the button slowly come out of the watch a little bit, about 1.0 to 1.5 mm. Do not force the button to come out cause it will easily break the stem link with the watch. When the button comes out, you can then wind it, adjust time, date, and day just like other watches. To lock it, slowly turn it and push it toward the watch until it is lock tight. NO need to apply extra force after it is tight! For most other non-screw-in button watches, you just wind it, adjust time, date, day without un-screw the button.
What is In-ward button? How does it different from push button like Chrono button?
In-ward button are button that are designed in a way that the button is inside the watch body, mostly for appearance purpose. Many times, there are too many push buttons on the watch already and making in-ward button necessary to save space and good looking. Usually, in-ward button are for setting Date, Year or Day, etc.
Use a ball point pen to push the in-ward button all-the-way and release fully will make it changed. Repeat the process until you have the right setting. Do not push half way or release half way, it will sometimes cause the gear to change half way and make it showing wrong information and might damage other mechanical parts.
Important (For automatic watch only): Do not set chrono-buttons when it is close to 12/24 hours. Due to the fact that all mechanical gear interact with each other, it is NOT advisable to push chrono buttons when it is close to 12/24 hours. It might cause some damages. If necessary, change the time first and then set chrono button setting.
The Daytona has chrono buttons which has a protective-screw lock for protection. A unique feature for Daytona. When you need to push the button, you need to un-wind the protective-screw to the level of the inside button, then you can push the button and change the Date/Day. Be sure to push it all the way and fully release it when pushing. Pushing halfway may cause it to stop half way and cause mechanical problems. When you are done with setting the Date or Day, you need to wind the outside protective-screw back to lock/protect it from accidental pushing.
For the 24 hr, it moves along with local time, no need to adjust.
