what’s wrong with it?

It doesn't wind properly.

Basically I feel no grind/clicking when I was winding it, I thought this was just the Rolex way, but because I never wore the watch everyday I didn't realise that it was dying quickly.

Last night I wound it about 40 times and came to wear it today and the shyt was dead. I took it to an AD this afternoon who said to send it back to Rolex for a service; 14 week turn around....smh..

Oh damn. I would try and return that, you JUST got it, no way it should be doing that and needing service so quick. Obviously defective.

My exit watch. I won't buy anymore at full price after this. Only change I see happening anytime soon is BB58 going for a BLNR or Submariner in 21 but more likely 22

Not really. On first glance you wouldn’t want to rob me unless you’re deep or have a weapon plus I live in London so the rules are different here

But anyone can get it so I got it insured with my house contents, just in case

Got my OP back from a service as it wasn’t winding. Rolex said nothing was wrong and sent it back but the first thing the AD did was wind the watch and be like “Yeah they fixed something”. Not sure what they did but it’s winding and have full power reserve now and got this cute watch holder

Yeah. I tried to sell it and was just getting some BS offers, people me to send it half way across the world and in the end I felt that it was all so long.

So I’ll keep it as my casual watch and the DJ41 for my fancy situations

The BB58 maybe the one that goes walkers. Going to see if there’s much interest in it. Christmas is a good time to a sale.
