Power reserve on mine is very good. It is as advertised. I would buy more without hesitation, but if you’re buying a PO, invest in a LMPO first!

For anyone who comes across this thread, I believe this issue was exacerbated by improper winding of the watch. In other words, I was manually winding this thing every single day to keep it running without wearing it. As I’ve come to understand, that is a big no-no.

I have this exact problem with my AT GMT. Very glad to see that it's a relatively simple fix. Thanks for the info.

Absolutely. I've been in touch with a local watchmaker who also says he's confident it will be a quick and simple job. I'll post an update when I get it sorted.

Any news here? I got the same problem with my aqua terra gmt, but my watchmaker didn't want to take the movement apart. He was afraid to destroy it
