Power Reserve for DD

Finally had a chance over the weekend to measure the Power Reserve on my 2 month old DD. It ran for 47hrs, 33min, 33sec's (crown down). Does that seem about right for the 3155 movement?

Do the sport models have a longer reserve

I think the sports are 44-46hrs. I seem to remember the Daytona being quite a bit longer. Maybe 72hrs? Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

My sport models have a much longer reserve. That DD runs out in less than two days, as you've seen. I always thought (and I'm no expert) it's because it has a bit more complication than a DJ or sportwatch.

That's correct. The Daytona (new in-house movt.) has 72 hours PR when the chronograph is not running and 66 hours with the chronograph continously running.

The result of the PR test of the DD is very good, IMHO, especially in the crown down position.

Thanks guys...I wish I had a 72 PR. It would be nice if the reserve lasted from Friday night till Monday morning. (Around 62 hrs)
