power reserve low?...

my 2019 ss daytona doesn't appear to be holding time for more than 2 days/48 hrs after being fully wound (about 40 turns)...

there's also days where i rotated out with another watch and the next day went to slide the daytona on and it had stopped...

so if it's not manually wound, how long should the power reserve be when only being self-wound through normal body movement? anyway to measure or determine if it's functioning properly?

I already took it to the RSC in nyc to get it sized up but had to wait about an hr so prefer not to go there again unless i had to...

any thoughts appreciated

Suggest giving it 50 turns or so and recheck. The watch should self-wind with normal daily activity but I still give mine 40 or so winds each weekend.

If that doesn’t work the amplitude may be low or another issue. In that case a visit to the NYC RSC is warranted and they will likely want to keep it for a couple of weeks.

Best.

Daytona has 72hr power reserve, so it needs 60 turns to fully wind.

To fully manually wind the Daytona it need 60 plus full crown turns clockwise only.
