116710LN power reserve not great after service.

Hi all,

I purchased a new 116710LN in 2008 (with much help from the membership here!) and it has served me very well on a daily basis since.

I recently had it serviced by Rolex in London but since it's return (about 6 weeks ago) I've noticed that the Power Reserve seems to be performing very poorly e.g. I wore it from 07:00 to 23:00 Mon to Fri and left it on my bedside locker Friday night through to 14:00 on Saturday as I was playing golf (so using a GPS watch) Sat morning and when I went to put it on at 14:00 I noticed it had stopped @ 11:40 which is about 1/4 of the "Approximately 48 hours" the Power Reserve is supposed to last per the Rolex specifications.

Could this just be a function of the service and it will somehow "loosen" up and regain it's previous performance which was never quite 48 hours but would definitely last 36 hours of non use without stopping?

Should I be manually winding the watch daily to ensure the Power Reserve is full and if so how long should a wind be?

Is there anything else I should be doing? Should I be contacting Rolex about this?

I'd appreciate your experienced thoughts on this. After almost 10 years of daily use this is the only (very minor) issue I have with the watch.

Regards,

Ben
