Hi all,
I've been enjoying my 3150.50 Speedmaster Automatic/Reduced as a daily wear watch for the last several weeks. The only issue is the same as it is for any of my automatics... with my daily use cycle the power reserve tends to wind down over 5-7 days or so, depending on exactly what I'm doing, since I'm always working at my desk and take it off when I get home. For the record this has nothing to do with the watch needing a service, it's always happened with my automatics regardless of age. So, does anyone know if this movement "likes" to be hand wound, or if it will cause undue wear? Given that it will wind in the 0/in position I'd assume it isn't as hard on the movement as it is for other movements, ETA 2824 comes to mind, but I wanted to check with people more knowledgeable than myself.
Thanks for any insight!
