Rolex gmt pepsi z serial

I’m not an expert but had a question. Watch keeps running after 48 hours. Is my watch still suppose to be running? Also when I spin my crown to charge it seems to be a little tighter than usual. Could someone please give me some tips. Assuming I’ll probably have to get my watch serviced .

Well on a full manual wind say 40 full crown turns clockwise only should run anything from 42-48 hours give or take a hour or so.And when the mainspring is fully wound up it just slips in the spring barrel perhaps that's what you are feeling.

A wound spring is not connected to a switch where it turns off after 48 hours, it is an estimate of power available once the watch is fully wound, then unmoved until the spring winds down. Unless wound by either the crown or the automatic rotor, your watch will eventually run down, it will not run forever.

When your watch is run down it will wind easier than when it is more fully wound as the spring gets tighter.

Your question doesn't seem to have anything to do with if you need it serviced or not. If you are concerned, of course, a service call as a matter of routine maintenance is not a bad idea; some folks do while others wait until something breaks.
