Owners here, how is your CK859's power reserve holding up?

I'm winding the watch to full (strong resistance of the crown), been getting at most 34hrs out of the advertised 72hrs.
Understand that PR varies and not asking to get the full 72, however 34hrs for a 2 weeks old watch is alittle low. TIA

I haven鈥檛 worn mine enough to measure power reserve, but have also noticed that there is a strong resistance when winding. And after every turn of the crown, there is quite a bit of snap back (I鈥檓 sure there鈥檚 a better term for it). I try to wind it and leave pressure on the crown so it doesn鈥檛 snap back as much - doesn鈥檛 seem like that鈥檚 a healthy thing, but maybe I鈥檓 wrong.
Are you winding it until the crown physically won't go any further (a hard mechanical stop)? If you are only getting about 50% of the stated power reserve it's likely you aren't winding it fully. You can't rely on a feeling of resistance, you have to go to a full, hard stop. Keep winding.

I鈥檓 not sure if Omega鈥檚 numbering system will tell us actual quantities made. Are we assuming they started with 001?
I was one of the first in the US to get one. I received the call on April 5th, but couldn鈥檛 pick it up until April 9th. Yet, my piece is 9XX? I saw one in my AD鈥檚 display case last weekend. I should have checks its number.
