Question about winding Ref 3590
On an auction I recently purchased my Calatrava WG, Ref #3590, automatic caliber 28-255.
I have just got it back from Patek in Geneva after a service and restoration.
It's a beuty, I promise!
I have no spec. on this watch so I really don't know how many turns it should be wounded after
lying still and has stopped.
I have no winder yet, so I have been asking around about this and I got different answer every time.
People says 15, 16, 17 or 18 turns.
I have tried all and it seems to be to few turns and still not happy with the power reserve.
Does anyone know how many turns you should wound this watch?

It is possible, although unlikely, that you are simply not moving around enough to wind the watch fully while you wear it. You might try experimenting by wearing it or moving it around quite a bit (think in terms of causing the rotor to revolve about 1500...
