Experience improved - revisiting my „disappointment“ post
My last post - link - stated an issue with the movement.
Thankful for all your comments and feedback, I checked some of the Communities advise and hints. Special shout out to @Flolorian
And indeed it seems the automatic rotor just powers the spring less than in any other watch I own. Taking that into account I give the crown some 8-10 lovely winds in the morning it keeps running with +2/+3 seconds a day since.
Having noticed that, I am reliefed that it seems not broken.

Great news! Beautiful watch 😍👏🏻👏🏻
Love the Santos, glad yours isn't broken!

That’s great.
What is the point of a automatic watch, if the rotor doesnt wind it enough?
Dont get me wrong, Im glad for you that it still works.
I am just a little dissapointed, since I consider to get one for myself, one day, in the far future.
I've found that if given the appropriate amount of wind, the caliber 1847 MC is quite accurate. I keep mine on a watch winder with enough rotations to keep it appropriately wound to keep time within spec. My only gripe is the piddly 42-hour power reserve.
Glad I could help 🫡😂
