So I finally decided to test my SubC's power reserve and find out how it measured against the factory estimated 48 hours.
The result was 48 hours and 5 mins. I honestly thought it would be 1 or 2 hours over the 48 hours, however, I am not going to complain since it's dead on and it runs at +1.1 seconds per day.

Has anyone else tested the power reserve on their Rolex?
If so, what was it or do you simply not worry about it?

I checked mine when I first purchased it, was maybe 45 minutes over what they listed, I was happy with that. I think that as long as you're hitting the 48 hour mark you're good.

I would not worry about it as long as it was in the the 39-48 hour range give or take a hour or so.

5 years and still going strong at 2 sec per day and power reserve over 48. The longest was 50 hrs 8 min back in 2012.
Right now around 49 hrs.

Will the power reserve decrease notably with age?

That's great.

The new movement is shockingly good, as well.
