It is from vintage, and never needed service all that time. Wind it, that's what the crown is for. Automatic winding does not mean that it winds itself up; it means that after you wind it up fully, it will continue to maintain a wind for as long as sufficient activity continues to rotate the inner winder wheel. Naturally, if winding it fully, about 40 full winds of the crown, doesn't do the trick, it may need repair.
It's just a watch Forum I pulled out the crown, and kept turning it upwards. I take it this is how to wind it. I turned upwards about 40 times, but no joy. And I just noticed, it cannot change the date either. On the first pull, it is for winding, which I thought was never needed for automatic watches. On the second notch of the crown pulled out, it is for adjusting time.
So how do you set the date. It changes the date when the hands are moved all the way by the time adjustment of the crown, and it is exactly But I thought it could be done by rotating the crown. Sorry - I have kept this watch for now almost 3 years, but still haven't found how to adjust and set it properly.
It's past due for service. I'm sure one of the UK members here can suggest a good watchmaker for vintage Rolex servicing. So a 42 year old watch that has not been serviced stopped working I am guessing its turned its toes up, it has ceased to function gone tits up. It is indeed a very dead Parrot.
A long overdue trip to RSC or a decent watch maker might be on the cards. The rest of the populous are way too busy staring at their shiny new iPhone Originally Posted by guitarman.

This means after winding your watch, you have to set the date and the time. Setting date and time is different for the various models of watches from Rolex. It is therefore important that you use the precise method of setting for your model. Rolex watches come as quickset and non quickset. To set the date on quickset models, the first step is to unscrew the crown.
Do this counterclockwise until you notice that it has popped out from the side. Tug at the crown till it gets to the second position. From this position, you can go ahead to set the current date. For the time, gently tug at it again until it gets to the third position. At this stage, the crown would have extended to its full capacity. Go ahead and set the time at this stage.

Now, pull at the crown until it gets to the second position. Do this twice and continue to wind the crown in the same direction to set the appropriate date.
Tune the crown to the third position to set the time. From this position, wind counterclockwise or clockwise until it gets to the correct time.

Winding your Rolex watch is important because it will keep the gears within the watch in good working order. Letting your Rolex watch sit without being worn will cause the watch to stop running.
We also recommend winding your Rolex once a month to ensure that it stays in good working order. This will keep the gears lubricated and prevent them from drying out in between stops.
