 Strange things happen. I got the watch and, with zero reserve, the power reserve indicator was pointing to anything but zero. Fully wound, it got to around 30 hours in the reserve dial. I left it run into a stop to proceed with the "surgery", but when the watch stopped, the power reserve indicator was a bit under zero. Fully wound it again, and it got to forty something... So, I am leaving it like that for the moment.

On another note, I opened it to clean some dirt I saw on the plate, and something that looked like oil in the click. To my surprise, the dirt and the "oil" was glue, which is used to stick metal sheets that have the perlage decoration to the movement plate, without too much care, obviously... With a magnifier, I saw there were traces everywhere. After some intense cleaning, I got all out.
