Overseas 49150 power reserve
I have a 2008 stainless steel Overseas which is kept on a winder when out of the safe. I have noticed that if I do not put it on the winder overnight it will stop within 12 hours. Anybody have any clues?

Sounds short...
From a full wind until it stops, assuming it is still, the watch should have a power reserve of over 40 hours. What you describe could be that your watch is not holding a power reserve, but it could also not be winding efficiently on the winder, which I'v...
apologies for absence
