Sub doesn't stay wound

I bought it new in 2010. When I leave it for a day or two in a watch winder case, it stops running.
Thoughts?

you leve it in the watch winder, with the winder on? sorry for the question... just making sure I got this straight... if the winder is on and winding the watch then you should send it to a RSC...

If its just sitting there... then its normal, I believe its 40ish hour power reserve give or take...

Well if you worn it for 8 years and have it on the winder when not wearing it then I think it's time for a service.

First I would want to ensure that the winder is not broken and is still turning the watch at around 650 turns-per-day.

If the winder is not winding it enough, it will stop on the winder.

I don't blame you for asking, but, yes, I have the winder on. It has different settings and I have it on the most aggressive setting.
