45 hours

Hi everyone,
I wound my Submariner Monday night at 11:47 PM, and tested to see how long it would keep running. I wound it about 50 times. Today it stopped at 8:46 PM, so that's about 45 hours. Is that acceptable? Thanks.

How old is your Sub? You should have got nearer to 47 hours.

I just got 49½ hrs. with my brand new V-series Sub-date.

Thats fine but as long as its still running when you get up in the morning and put it back on wrist why worry.There is no fast rule about power reserve the norm for the cal 3135 is around 40 -48 hours on a full manual wind.If one is a hour or so more its no big deal or even if its a hour or so less.
