Power Reserve
Good day to all!
I would like to know if there is any preparation you need to do before wearing an OP watch to keep it running using its power reserve? My experience with a recently bought 114 is somewhat mind boggling. I read in the specs over the net that it has power reserve of 56hours but after a week of continuous wearing, it stopped 4 hours after leaving it idle. So I am concluding that the watch does not store a 56-hour power reserve as claimed.
I also have other automatic watches but this is a first. I am starting to have some sleepless nights even if it has a 2-year warranty from the AD. 
Regards,

Done that..
Thank you BHK9 and David for your thoughts. I have tried to wind it before leaving it idle by moving it in the direction required to 'charge' its winder. In terms of 'regular' wrist movements, I do not experience the same when wearing my other auto watche...
Am I missing something?
Your PAM 114 is a manual base? or do you mean 104? If your 114 is not giving you over 2 days of PR, you should definitely see your AD. Before you do that, wind up the watch until full, and let it run down AND repeat that for a few times. Asi
Oooops, Asi, I stand corrected...114 is a manual wind
It is not an auto wind watch. So you must wind every couple of days. My bad. -David
