Over 40 hours of reserve is normal, however you if did not service your watch for 5 years or longer, it would be a good idea to service it, even though it acts normal. As oil dries up parts wear out much faster. Your watch may be running good for 10-15 years, but then, when it stops, a whole bunch of parts will need to be replaced due to extensive wear... I hope this helps.
Thank you very much!
