Hi,
There's a sliding device on the 8 days JLC movements that prevents overwinding.
You may try to wind it fully from 4 hours till 8 hours power reserve counting the crown turns and then keep winding at least as many turns again.
Your power reserve indicator may not be well settled so the watch would have only 4 hours of power reserve when the indicator says 8?
I'm not sure though.
You may also show it to your AD.
Let us know (and do it carefully of course
).
Cheers
Dje
