Re: Winding Question
In Response To: Re: Winding Question ()

It should be closer to around 40 hours total. When was it last serviced - any dates inside the back? If it still has the original mainspring, that might be part of the problem.

: Craig, I wound the watch 70 times (fully wound) and started second
: sweep hand. It ran for 32 hours, I then disengaged the second
: hand and it ran for another 1 1/2 hours. Thanks.
