Sea Dweller 126600 (Red writing)

Hi,
My Dad has a 4 year old Sea Dweller 126600. It's stopped twice after 24 hours, the second time was after winding it manually. What can cause this ?
I think he will be taking it back to an RSC before the warranty expires.

Not sure. If it’s fully wound and then it’s worn everyday on a regular basis it should keep running.

I’d wind it 40 full turns, and let it rest. See how long the power reserve lasts. It should run about 70 hours.

Just wind it for a while. You can't overwind it, so let er rip. Instead of counting turns.
