Question: Asian Mvmt. for SFSO

[italiano17771]

just received a new breit sfso and i really wasnt a huge fan of the watch so i decided to pick up the cheaper ($170) asian copy. just gave it some wrist time today (all day-approx 8 hours) and it kept perfect time, but then i took it off when getting ready for bed....few hours later its not moving. if i pick it up and give it a shake it starts back up for only a few seconds. if i have it on and keep it moving it works, but if im not moving it....it stops rather fast. faster than any of my reps, even the cheap reps i bought a year ago. i would have thought this would have some type of power reserve. is this normal? any thoughts from the movement wizards?

thanks,

anthony

I have one, but I can't tell you the power reserve because I can't take it off my wrist :wink:

does it keep time while you sleep?

 

[bignasty]

Wind it manually 40 or so times before you wear it the first time and you'll get better power reserve.

does it keep time while you sleep?

It's near perfect in the time I've had it

stupid question i know.....wind clock wise? that is the only way i hear something. i thought i saw to wind counter clock wise, but i do not hear anything winding counter.

unscrew (if applicable) counterclockwise, and then wind clockwise.

Like someone recomended, wind it for 40 rotations clockwise before you wear it. I never tested mine to see how long it lasted for as it always sat on he winder when I was not wearing it. Normally though you should get like 30 hrs or so.
