How do I wind a Rolex Datejust?

1 Answer
How do I wind a Rolex Datejust?
To begin to wind a Rolex Datejust, unscrew the winding crown fully. Then, turn the crown in a clockwise direction at least 25 times for a partial winding. Because the watch self-winds as you move, you usually only need to wind a Rolex Datejust before the first wear or if you let several days pass between wears. You’ll find a large selection of Rolex Datejust watches on 1stDibs.
