3135 Power Reserve

Hi Techsters,

I have a 3135 powered Sub and its running about +1.

It was overhauled in Oct 2009 by ROLEX Geneva.

Its currently running about 24 hours off the wrist to end of power.

Is this cause for concern?

Thanks,
Randy

As always, manually wind it 40 turns and then time the power reserve.

If you then still only get 24 Hr's, yes cause for concern.

I wear it almost 24 hours x 7 and recently I took it off and noticed the anomalous end of power...

Doesn't mean anything or it means you're not active enough.

Then, the movement is not in need of adjustment in your opinion ?

Do this simple test first and if you get a "normal" power reserve you might consider (as implied above) wearing it on the other wrist.

Wouldn't surprise me a bit if you get a good 40 Hr's out of the test.

Only way to really tell Randy is to give a full 40 turns and let it rest...
If it lasts 48 hours or near without being subjective to movement, then your Sub is A OK!!
