TC2824 power reserve less than 12 hours

[Keyser_Soze_003]

Hi guys,

I bought a TC LV last year and had it serviced by an acquaintance who is a watchmaker at Rolex in the daytime. I had not worn it for a year, and just started to again now. t runs smoothly and everything, but I see the power reserve is less than 12 hours. Now that seems really low to me. It's annoying to wind it up again every morning to be honest.

I can't take it back to the acquaintance as I have since then moved to a different country that is quite far away. I could send it by post, but I'd rather not go through the risk of losing this piece for something minor like this.

Any advice? Any local watchsmiths I could reach out to?

Thanks

Are you sure it's fully charged? Wind via crown about 40 times.

I'll try that today, thanks for the advice. But I had been wearing it for an entire day, is that less effective than winding it manually 40 times?

If you haven’t worn it for a year, manually wind it 40times. Give it another 20-30 winds the next day as well.
