Firstly there is no issue with the watch - it was my lack of knowledge about the manual winding, which this forum solved. The technicians at the AD wound it fully and assured me they got 70 hours out of it before it conked out. I will test this myself in the next week.

Second, it took them more than 3 weeks to say if there was an issue with the watch at all. Coupled with their lack of knowledge about the specification in the first place I'm deeply dissapointed by this. They also delivered the watch back to me dirtier than I gave it (clearly been handled by a very sweaty man who didn't think to wipe it down). I hope that this is not reflective of Rolex service worldwide, but blunty put the Israeli service sucks. I'll be getting my watch serviced abroad when the time comes.

Thanks again to all on this forum for their help.
Well looks like the power reserve factor is fine as long as you get around 65 plus hours on a full wind off wrist I would not worry.As to your watch being dirty on return thats unusual in my experience, but thats mainly with London and various Far East RSCs.
