You should be getting at least 50 hours, if you're only getting 16 hours then that's a big problem as you will need to wind it twice a day!

Are you sure you wound it fully?

Wind it until it can not be wound anymore, that's how you get maximum PR.

Newbie here. Tried searching can't find.

Have a watch that I can't seem to get wound up enough (didn't use for a few weeks) and need to wind it, but forget how! It stops at night; I shake a few times or even for quite a while, vigorously, and it still stops (I think I'm way too sedentary!)

I have long since lost my instruction pamphlet that came with my Rolex Oyster Perpetual Datejust. Can anyone explain how to wind manually? When I unscrew the crown, there are three different positions; the one furthest out moves the hour/minute; the second one advances the date when moving counter-clockwise; there is some resistance when I move it clockwise. Furthest in, there is little resistance counter-clockwise, but some clockwise. Which of these is actually winding the watch?

Thanks!

Well, you are in the panerai forum, but the first position in Rolex is the winding position. Unscrew back and then wind forward in the first position.
