DJII and keeping correct time?

I have a DJII Rhodium Bezel dial, bought from an AD last October.

When I wear the watch the time keeps well and I do not have to set it, and I never wear the watch at night to sleep.

When I put the watch in the box, I do not have a watch winder for it, the watch essentially stops entirely.

I took the watch off on Friday, and left it until Tuesday morning and the date stayed on 7, and the time was still on 11:45, when I put the watch on I had to reset the watch date to 11, and time to 8:25.

Is this normal or should I have the watch looked at by the AD?

Thanks in advance

My guess would be that the watch was barely wound. Give it a good manual wind and then carry on as usual. Perhaps your lifestyle is sedentary?

Just because you are wearing it does not mean you are winding it,before wearing give it a full manual wind,thats 40 full crown turns clockwise only then wear as normal, but with reasonable wrist activity for at least 8 hours a day.Then it should be fine and not stop overnight, but not a problem to manual wind say once a week even if worn.

Let's see some pics!

Oh yeah, and give your watch a full manual wind.

I do not wind it that often, so I will start with winding it a full 40 to 50 times and wear for a full day to see if that will work.

Thank you.
