Power reserve question- Vostok Europe experts!

[caiman]

Hi! Bought a Vostok Europe last Saturday. I fully wound the watch and kept good time till this morning aboout 6AM. When I came from work 7 PM the watch was running but it marked 4 and 20 min PM.
Does the Vostok Europe loses time with low power reserve? This hapen to some of you?
In this 3 days I didn't use the watch only shake it about a minute to see if the rotor was working good, could the watch be stoped at 4 and 20 min PM when I took it out from the paper box and by shake it a litle it would started running again? The truth is that about 10 minutes later it stoped running...



Thank's!

Very likely it has stopped. Power reserve is 30 hours. Next step of diagnostic should be checking it's power reserve.

Simply wind this watch fully and observe when it stops. Please keep having fun.

Power reserve on my fully-wound K3 is about 40 hours. What may have happened to you is that, when you picked up the watch to check the time at 7 PM, you might have jostled it enough to release any remaining spring tension, or the motion wound it enough to start running again. Either way, I haven't noticed that my K3 loses time with low power reserve, at least, not like what you're reporting.
