DeepSea D-Blue

When the power reserve on my D-blue is run down, the crown needs to be wound 25 times before the seconds hand starts moving. Is this normal ?

I honestly don't think the watch has the claimed power reserve of 50+ hours.
I often rotate between my BLNR, Deep-blue, and the Explorer II. That's 48 hours every rotation. But this past week, I only rotate between the D-blue and BLNR. The watch is dead every time I put it on every other day. And Yes, I do wind it 40 times when wearing.

try slowly rotating the watch in all different directions. You might find it starts moving on it's own, then wind it as you normally would.

My D-Blue needs to be wound about 20-25 times as well.
