Well, a couple of things. If it is an AquaTerra, it isn't a 2500A movement. Those were only in a very few limited edition Devilles.
Second thing, that being on a winder is not the same as being on your wrist. Manually wind it and wear it for a couple of days and see what results you get before believing something is wrong.
If it is losing that much time, magnetization is a possibility, easily corrected by most watchmakers.
40 seconds a day is within the range of adjustment, which a watchmaker can do in a few minutes -- if you get his attention.
Good luck & give us a report!!!
