Need your opinion about my SMP problem...
I have noticed that the watch had fallen behind significantly on my wrist. I own 3 other automatic watches and they never fall behind when I am wearing the watch. So, I think I am active enough to keep the watch wound on my wrist when I am wearing it. I had to manually wind the SMP every 2 days. and I had also noticed that the same thing had happened when the watch is on a watch winder. so I had ran some test...
I wound the watch manually for about 60-70 turns until I heard the "clicking" noise, which I believe that the device that protects from over winding kicked in. I left the watch on the desk and it has stopped after about 40 hours. so I do have the full running time that OMEGA had suggested.
then again, I wound the watch again fully, and wore it for a day. After wearing it for one day, I manually wound the watch and it took about 40 turns until I heard the "clicking" noise again. then after that, I left the watch on a watch winder for a day, and next day, I manually wound the watch and it also took 50 turns until I heard the "clicking" noise.
That's when I got little worried that the watch only works with a manual winding. I use my watch winder for my 3 other automatic watches and they are ALWAYS wound and never lose time. the winder turns about 960 turns a day. so it should be enough for any watches to be wound properly.
next, I manually wound the watch again fully (again, about 50-60 turns until I heard the "clicking" noise) and left the watch on the winder until it stopped. the watch stopped after 49 hours on the watch winder. it means that the watch winder didn't wind the watch at all...
What do you guys think? I really think that the watch doesn't get wound with the rotor... if I'm right, how did this happened?
I am really worried... the good thing is that the watch is well under warranty, but I just want you guys' opinion before I send the watch to the service center and make fool out of myself.
thanks again everybody!
