I just got this new to me 1601 DJ. I walked into my city’s AD, and a lady behind one of the display cases greeted me and asked how she could help.

I said i simply would like to see if I could pay to have the wrist adjusted on this to be tighter? She puts a glove on and says may I have a look?

I hand the watch over, and she gives me a dirty look and says you want us to size your fake Rolex? I’m like what? She then calls over their Rolex expert and is like “he wants us to size this fake Rolex for him” the man had it in his hand for barely a second and was like this is real, it’s just an old piece what are you saying? To her

She starts apologizing. Saying she doesn’t know anything about older Rolexes. I’m a young dude. and i wasn’t dressed the best. And it’s a $4500 polished refurbished Dj. But still. I feel so disrespected. If you don’t know anything about Rolex’s why are you legit checking potential clients to their faces? Especially with other people around who can hear everything and clearly making me embarrassed? I get you won’t service fake pieces but leave that to the experts.

This is maybe the most “respected Jewerly store” in my city.

I don’t want her in trouble but i don’t want dudes like me left feeling stupid just requesting a simple service from an AD.

I’ve wound it and everything, it still looks like it’s ticking to me and not “gliding”

We have one of these in our shop. And unfortunately a door was left cracked and the 12v battery died. We couldn’t gain access to the frunk and there’s not the traditional fuse panel on the drivers side floorboard.

We looked this car over everywhere, we searched the internet EVERYWHERE, and couldn’t find anything.

We called multiple Porsche dealerships, they couldn’t tell us either.

Finally we somehow got an actual 918 tech on the phone and explained the process to us.

So here’s how to do it if you’re ever in this fortunate situation lol.

Passenger side floorboard underneath the glove box is a rectangular fuse cover it’s very hard to see and easy to miss.

Pull this off and there is where the magical red pull out 12v connector is to attach a jump box to and give it enough power to get into the frunk.

BUT*** the tech made very clear to remove the carbon fiber foot mat (1 t30 bolt) because when you jump the pull out connector it can arc to the mat and be very dangerous.

Once you gain access to the frunk on the passenger side there is a cover you take off with flathead screws. Underneath this is the actual positive connection terminal to charge / jump the battery.

I couldn’t believe this was NO WHERE on the internet so i hope this helps someone someday.

There is also a cigarette lighter connection underneath the front of the passenger seat you can use to trickle charge.
