After winding my Invicta 8926 A, I noted the minute hand run about 2 or 3 minutes more than other clocks I'm watching (Laptop/Cellphone) even if I configure the Lap/Cell with the Invicta hour (even seconds) the Invicta seems running faster. I don't know if this is a common problem, I'm a bad-lucky person or what is going on with my watch. It's new and I only have it about 3/4 months. Regards
Send in for warranty repair with a description to Invicta

Sorry for your Rolex....
In any case you will not be able to to repair watch yourself as it takes skilled man and special tools to do the job.
It is NOT common that the winding rotor is making a noticeable noise, unless you bought second hand watch.
1st cause can be that the rotor fixing screw is loosened and the rotor is touching caseback whilst in move. Then you are the lucky one as the only thing to do is to tighten it properly.
2nd cause can be that the ball bearing is too worn, bridge screwws are loose, rotor axis worn and so on and so on. In this case you may need some part replacement and much more complicated work must be done. As the outcome it will take more time to repair and you will pay more money.

Hi Ed,
I have been in the industry for the past 2 years as a watchmaker's assistant. So I'll see if I can help.
The larger second hand you see in this Chronograph model, using it is only available in the Chronograph mode.
How long a battery should last (if I had a dollar for everytime I've heard that one! :)
Well generally a battery should last about 2 years. It all depends on how many functions that watch has, as for a chrono the more you use that function the more the battery power it uses. I have not seen this watch but as it looks to be the 'standard' kind of format of a chronograph, just one battery would surfice.
In regards to 1/10 lap, please take the to a watchmaker as the hands need to be reset, this either can be done manually or can be done by pulling out the crown slightly (please as if you are to forcefull you will pull the crown and stem out) NOT GOOD!. if you pull it out to 'quick date change' where only the date can be changed try pressing one of the pushers and see which sub dial hands move, if that doesn't work try the other pusher.
Again if the above doesn't work, pull the crown out to time set mode (where you can adjust the time) and try the same steps as above. If this fails and it's still off, take it to a watchmaker and he/she will realign the hands for you!
Kind Regards

Actually the sweep arm can be set to 0 and will probably have to be every time you have the battery replaced. To set the sweep arm pull the stem and crown out to the first or second set position then press and hold down the start button. The sweep arm will move into position and you can let go of the button when it is where you want it. Make sure to set the right time and replace the crown in the time position.
Great watch!!

Easier than you think.
Pull your Crown out to the FIRST stop (were you would normally set your date). Push the "A" button (top chrono button) for your dial at the "3 oclock" area, Push the "B" button(bottom chron button) for the second hand.

If hand winding does not work then try waving it gently from side to side for 100-200 times (yes! that is what some makers recommend).
Since self winding watches thrive on use, it is best to wear it daily to keep it functioning.

I've found interesting a suggestion on internet... "the watch seems to be sad when you don't use it" What??? that's right. why? After start to use it from the last winding the watch stop to gaining minutes is fine since this morning I guess the watch have a sensor to determinate whether the watch is or not in you wrist.
