Hi guys,

If you remember, I had put my Blue Sub and new LV together on the "test bench" for the Power Reserve test a couple of days ago after giving each watch 45 turns of the crown to attain maximum mainspring tension.

Well, guess what?

BLUESY stopped after 47 hrs. 37 mins.

GREENIE stopped after exactly 47 hours

Excellent performance from both - but BLUESY is still KING!!

Cheers - JJ

That's just the kind of test I would do and my wife would just roll her eyes like I was nuts.

I get about 42-43 hours with my Oysterdate seeing it being 47 years old in original condition

I think Greenie at least deserves a re-match, if not best of three!!

astcell · 17 November 2007, 03:46 PM

But 47 hours exactly? That sounds like a feat in and of itself!

marshallr47 · 17 November 2007, 04:30 PM

Go Blusey! JJ, you are a true WIS. Thanks for the results.

Never thought of having a contest like that! But give the LV another shot!

That result comes from Bluesy being the most energic fighter in the drawer!

chevycorvette · 17 November 2007, 11:58 PM

Very simple, Clive. Set both watches at the same time with the same date.

Give both watches around 45 turns of the crown. Then place them aside and observe a couple of days later.

The Rolex brand is nothing if not consistent. Great test, JJ.

Go JJ. We are all loving this. But it should definetly be the best of 3.
He used the ever trusted Exp II to time them . What else!
