Hi all, first post on this forum but having spent (too much?) time reading and seeing photos on here, I have been inspired to purchase my first Omega!!
I decided on the DSOTM a few weeks ago from an OB - it’s an absolutely lovely watch and very happy with my purchase!

Unfortunately however, during my initial use I have noticed that I don’t appear to be getting near the stated 60 hours power reserve.
I decided to test this a couple of times by fully winding the watch (around 70 winds - hope that’s enough!) and leaving it - the results were that it lasts between 30-38 hours then stops. I also noticed that if I give the watch a little shake it starts again for any time between 1-2 hours then stops suggesting that it’s not fully unwound. This can be repeated several times.
Having read this really informative forum looking for similar cases, I see mentioned several times about a known issue around the DLC barrels or “brown wear” impacting some Calibre 9300 movements.
I am not sure if these are related but would appreciate any views from you guys on whether this sounds like a service under warranty issue or if it just needs more wearing which I admit in the current circumstances has been limited.
Many thanks!
