Sub power reserve problem

Hello All,

I have a 1996 sub that I bought in 96 and it has been serviced now maybe three times. I have always been able to rotate it with another watch or two and return to the sub with it still running. It was last serviced about 3 1/2 years ago and just in the last 8 months maybe I have noticed that if I take it off for just one day to wear another watch, the sub will either have stopped the next day or stop some hours after I have put the sub back on the next day.

I always give the watch a full 40 turn wind when putting it back on after it has stopped.

The sub seems to still run a little fast as it has always done and seems to be spot on accurate as usual too. I am wondering if this is a mainspring issue or magnetization. It seems too soon to have it serviced.

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank You.

Wind it fully when you take it off if you want full power reserve.
