winder

In Response To: Give it a good 50 winds and put it on the shelf ()

I think I have a problem. After winding it thirty times, then place it on a winder, it stops on the winder. Should I take it to the dealer where I purchased the watch, or send it into Switzerland?
:
See how long it runs. If it doesn't run about
: 44 hours, then there's a problem and you
: should have it looked at.

: Often times, people don't give it enough manual
: wind when they get it. It should be 40 - 50
: winds. If you wear it most of the day on a
: daily basis, there should be no need to
: manually wind it after that.
