How do "automatic" watches like the Rolex Daytona work?

ALSo,


If I were to shake a Rolex daytona, how long would it last without having to be "moved" or shaken up again?|||The time depends on how much the rotor in the back moves around, and how much the spring gets wound as to how long it will run. A rotor spins in one direction, and as one moves, the rotor moves. Its attached to a group of gears that wind the mainspring, and from there it runs like a regular manual watch.|||i don't have a rolex daytona watch.|||I think you are refering to atomic watches which have a radio reciever that contacts a broadcast of the time from a tower.. usually the one in Colorado.. which broadcasts the time continuously. The reciever can pick up the signal as far away as 2000 miles.
