Recently Serviced 145.022-76 Expected Power Reserve

[Makesbelieve]

Hello fellow OF members,

I have a quick question about my recently serviced 145.022-76 which, after a full wind, am only getting 24 hrs of run time out of before it drops dead.

What type of power reserve would you expect from this old dame? And should I send the watch back for a check up?

Thanks in advance, Matt

Recently serviced by.......Omega?

No, by an Omega certified watchmaker

Are you 100% sure you are fully winding it to a definite stop? If so, I would be taking it back to your watchmaker for a look.

'A definite stop'... that's what I've been doing wrong

I've always been too timid to go 'all the way' only ever winding the watch about 40 turns from a dead stop.

Sorry, my bad.

Thanks @Archer

That's why I ask - this is a common thing I've come across over the years, so don't feel bad.
