There are a couple of spring options, and the indents inside the mainspring barrel can, and do, wear so that they will not hold the spring as tightly when it starts to wind up.
Do you feel like you need more than 35-40hours? Is the watch keeping good time?
The watch may very well have been serviced, but not all service calls replace expensive worn parts, they just clean and oil.

Thank you for the reply.
I do not need more than that 35-40 hours of power, except maybe having to set the time when the watch isn't worn for a day or more. This I do not mind at all, but worry that I will put more pressure on the crown by unscrewing it often.
That being said, I assume the parts were cleaned and oiled, but not replaced. This was about a month or so ago. Am I fine with another 2-3 years of usage before servicing? It keeps time rather well, it is just the slight coarse feeling after few revolutions of the crown and the limited power reserve.
I will try to observe whether this changes or not in the next few days.
