Just bought my 1st AP - and have a few questions

[LarryL]

Hello everyone,

Very happy to join the forums!
My name is Larry and I just picked up my first AP.
Which is also my first high end time piece.
It's a stainless steel 44mm ROO

I'm learning a lot from browsing the forums, but still have some questions I'm trying to get answered. So hoping someone more knowledgable can help me out.

My first question is about the lume.
Out of the box the watch appears to have none.
It only glows after I hold it to direct light for a bit.
If I wear it during the day, it doesn't glow at night....only if I charge it by holding it up to a light. Is this normal/common for a brand new watch?

My second question pertains to the watch running a few seconds fast each day.
I set the time to match the time.gov website
24 hours later I see that it was 20 seconds ahead.
Is this also normal, or something that I should bring in to get checked out.

And lastly, my third question is about a watch winder.
I wear this maybe once or twice a week. I don't mind the watch dying and then winding it by hand, but I'm looking to do what's best for the overall health & longevity of the watch.

Is it better to keep it on a winder and having the watch be on at all times, or is it better to let it die and then wind by hand as needed?


Any and all info is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Larry
