··Omega Qualified WatchmakerOkay, I'm learning...
1. I was unaware an auto-mech should to be manually wound before wearing each morning. I had just assumed if it was running, it would stay running.
2. I did the "table test" and it stopped after 51 hours (51 h 21 m).
Thanks for the help and device, Don
If you read the thread again, no one has said it has to be wound every morning. Again, if the watch has stopped, you should fully wind it in the morning, wear it during the day, and it should run overnight. Then the next morning you just need to strap it on and wear it - it should go like this indefinitely until you let it run down over a weekend or something.
Now one more piece of data - if it will run 51 hours after being fully manually wound, it should stay wound overnight obviously. So tomorrow morning fully wind the watch to make sure you are starting with a full wind, put it on, and wear it all day. Then take it off and don't even bother with the winder just lay it dial up on a dresser. It should stay running overnight, and the next morning you can just put it on (without winding it again using the crown) and wear it during the day. If after a few days it stops, you are either VERY inactive during your day, or there is an issue with the automatic winding system.
