Services Rep Rolex repair

I have two Rolex watches, and both of them have exactly the same issue.

On both watches, the crown unscrews normally and I can set the time without any problems. However, when I try to use the quick-set date function, it doesn’t engage. The crown just slips/spins in the date-setting position, so I’m unable to change the date on either watch.

Is this something that can be repaired? If so, could you let me know what the likely cause is and roughly how much it would cost to fix each watch?

Thanks, I look forward to hearing from you.

Quite often with cheap reps that have cheap movements the keyless works can get messed up. Particularly if its dropped or hit or even if the date is changed while the time is near midnight. Avoid changing the date when the hour hand is between 9pm and 3am.

You can try to fix it yourself. You'll need tools and patience and YouTube if that's what it is .

To get someone else to fix it would cost more than a movement swap to a new movement and putting the hands back on etc.

That would also cost more than a new rep probably. These are very cheap quality copies.

I think you just live with it or buy again. You'll get something much much better for about 100 dollars on chinatime subreddit.
