Test the power reserve

In Response To: Re: Aqua Terra Chronograph Running Down ()

Test the power reserve by fully winding it then setting it down and time how long it takes to deplete. Make sure it's fully wound ie either you can't wind any more or it starts a louder clik clik sound meaning the overwind protection has kicked in. The pr should be in the 50 hour range or check omega website for the specs. If your reserve is fine then it probably means you either may have an auto wind problem or your daily activity on that particular day may not have been enough to keep it wound. Keep in mind that the pr is about 50 hrs so what you did on Monday has zero impact on Wednesdays reserve.

No-one got any thoughts on this?? I'd have thought a few of you
: guys must have some idea??
