I just decided screw it, if something is wrong then it needs to be serviced anyway so let’s give it a go and possibly break it a little quicker.

For another update, the watch has been smoothly manually winding since my last post where there was a slight pop and the grit went away. I’ve timed it against time.gov and it’s running -1.5 seconds per day and power reserve is holding at about 48 hours. My wife is now wearing it normally (I’ve stopped playing and testing) so all seems fine, just really weird that the watch wound smoothly for nearly the first year of its life, then rough for a week, and now smooth again...
