Hi all

I recently bought a Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLNR, from a AD, not sure if I am getting the power reserve as close as advertised 72 hours.

A fully winded watch in the morning, wears it whole day, takes it off at night gives me full 24 hours plus another 12 on top max before it stops.

Say, on Thursday morning I wind the watch takes it off before going to bed, watch generally stops by Saturday morning, is that normal or shall I be concerned?

Thanks in advance.

Sal

First there is no such Rolex watch called a batgirl you have a Rolex GMT-Master II 126710BLNR, and would depend on how you was winding your watch.To fully manually wind it would need 60 plus full crown turns clockwise only,and wearing a watch does not wind the watch.As its wrist activity to make the winding pendulum swing to wind the mainspring, give it a full manual wind then should run between 65-72 hours off wrist.

There's no batgirl. that's correct.
There's only batman... at least according to the rolex website.

Go to www.rolex.com and type BATMAN or KERMIT. You'll be surprised of the results.

Sal don’t let the haters get to you, it’s your watch and you can call it whatever you like!

You should be getting close to your 72 hours though after a full winding, I have the same reference and get about 70 hours after a full winding. Cheers!

Thank you, I will fully wind it today and see how long it will last, I think I wasn't winding it enough previous!

70 ish hours.
As grown adults we can all comprehend that we can call a watch in jest wherever we please. It's ours and we paid for it.
A watchs nick name sounding feminine ? Will it shrink your manliness? Probably not.

If some are dismayed by their jewellery having a female nickname, then there are probably some other issues at play. Or they bought into to that 'cancel culture' so prevalent in America. Perhaps I misunderstood... :)

If your watch stops after about 36 hours at rest then it certainly has a problem with the 3285 caliber.

salmanhamid · 16 March 2021, 03:34 AM

You left the watch at rest in dial up position?
Can you also check after x,y,z hours the timekeeping or do you measure power reserve only?

No, crown fully inserted. I have checked the time previously it was +-2 seconds a day which I guess is acceptable!?

On a 70 hour PR watch, I feel that around 80 winds fully powers it from dead, 60 doesn’t cut it for mine. You can’t overwind anyways so should can go over this to be sure it’s fully wound.
