WEARING THE WATCH
FOR THE FIRST TIME
Before being worn for the first time, or if it has
stopped, a Rolex watch must be wound manually
in order to function correctly and precisely.
To wind the watch manually, unscrew the winding
crown completely, then turn it several times
clockwise. (Turning in the other direction has
no effect.) A minimum of 25 turns is required for
adequate partial winding. The watch will then
be wound automatically as long as it is worn on
the wrist. Carefully screw the crown back down
against the case to ensure waterproofness.
