Folks,

I'm amazed, my SubDate 16610 "M" is doing great!!!! I wanted to see for how long will the power reserve take it. Now it has been working at rest in its box for more than 50 hours with very accurate time ( +1.6 seconds per day)

Is this normal????

Please knock on the wood

kcmo · 13 April 2009, 06:09 AM

50 hours? WOWZAS! I've never tested mine but I was sure the reserve was shorter.

That is awesome!!!

Bisquitlips · 13 April 2009, 06:11 AM

Should be around 44 hours I believe. 50+ is great!!

gettocard · 13 April 2009, 06:13 AM

my SD was 50 hours aswell...what a fantastic machine...

It seems that Ahmed has winded the watch with the propeller shaft so it reached its limits and beyond !!

Well done Ahmed

That is truly amazing, Ahmed.

I've managed to squeeze out 47½ hours from my Sub-date from full wind to a dead stop.

Fantastic indeed. The maximum I've ever managed to squeeze out after 45 turns of the crown is close to 48 hours.

Wow 51 hours

tubojunk · 13 April 2009, 10:13 AM

I never officially time my GMT, but I have a hard time believing it last longer than 36 hours. 50+ is awesome!

hflee55 · 13 April 2009, 10:18 AM

how did you get it up to 51 hours? you have a special technique in winding it?

watchmaker · 13 April 2009, 11:19 AM

50 hours is great, but not right.
It should be slightly less, but if the timekeeping is good, then fair play to you

Wildwing · 13 April 2009, 01:24 PM

I've seen my Datejust get at least 48 by itself a couple times, so I'm not surprised. Believe they have the same movement. (3135?)

Yes, same 3135 movement. I too am very surprised at the amazing PR Ahmed has managed to obtain from his Sub.

I have 3 watches as shown in my avatar below - all 3 with the same 3135 movement and none of them have given me more than 47½ hours, some a little less.
