Omega Seamaster 300m power reserve

[Deep]

Hi
I have a current model 300m which is my daily. Some months back it had a small knock which made it go crazy, gaining extra minutes every hour.
It went back under warranty and that issue was all sorted.
However since I've had it back I'm sure the power reserve is well below standard. One day it didn't even last 24 hours off the wrist.
I'm trying to avoid sending it in again because it takes months to get it repaired.

I need to do a definitive check and make sure it's fully charged first.

Can I just pull crown to position one and apply 50 forward winds?

Thanks

If you listen carefully you should be able to hear the clutch operate when it is fully wound.

Really.

You will have to hold it to your ear and listen when you first wind it and then wind it until you think it is probably full and listen again. You should be able to hear the difference.

Thanks for the suggestion but to be honest I'm a little deaf lol.

Your first plan will work in any case.

If you cant hear the clutch slipping when its fully wound, then I would wind 100 turns to be on the safe side that it is fully wound.

Power Reserve should be around 70hours.

Keep us updated on your results.

I can't hear a thing buddy, but that's probably my hearing rather than the watch.
I wound it an additional 50 times, so 100 times in total. Will take it off tonight and check again tomorrow evening when I come back from work.

Cheers
