Here are some power reserve results.

I started the test at 13:00:00 Saturday.

The Daytona is still running (of course) and I will update that one later.

and I will re-run the test with the chrono running just to see.

They were all fully wound and in the same case at the same temperature etc.

Pepsi M 3186..........48:05:11
GMT TT IIc..............47:45:03
Sub LV....................47:51:34
SD..........................47:02:59
Milgauss GV............46:56:56
Blue TT sub.............47:30:53
Daytona.................
Sub Date.................47:36:32
14060m. ...............45:34:57

Nice comparison Eddie , they are all very similar

PS: I think your 3186 beat JJ's

Singslinger · 12 October 2009, 06:52 PM

Peter,

It is not a contest.

sleddog · 12 October 2009, 09:32 PM

Some good numbers there Eddie!! Your GMT IIC got almost a half hour on JJ's and mine...+ the SD got over 2 hours on mine as well...Mine needs to be serviced for sure though!! I see the 14060 got alot less,I'm still yet to test mine!!!
Thanx for the effort,
Rob.

Andad · 12 October 2009, 09:57 PM

Well it's JJ's SD Rob and he only has the best.

The 14060M is a 'K' and was serviced in mid 2008.

Thanks, Eddie.....those are pretty impressive results. The Daytona should come close to 72 hours.

mb hawaii · 14 October 2009, 09:20 PM

Man, the Daytona must still be running.

eagle_lex · 14 October 2009, 09:27 PM

This made me wonder about my two little 2001 model subs which have never been serviced. im doing this little test now. so far they have both been running for 36 hours. ill keep ya posted. i dont even know how long those suckas are supposed to run but i would guess around 40 or more hours.....???

padi56 · 15 October 2009, 12:03 AM

Well Rolex does quote a power range from 42 -48 hours for most of there range.And as long as it runs overnight
for you to wear next day thats fine for me .And if it don't then you can manual wind thats what the winder is for.

Speed · 15 October 2009, 12:07 AM

Thanks for doing the research!

Decent consistency among models and vintages.

eagle_lex · 15 October 2009, 10:29 AM

my no date sub just died after 47h:20m. last i checked the serti two tone was still running.... 2001 models never serviced.

eagle_lex · 15 October 2009, 10:54 AM

ok serti two tone sub died at 47h:50m. not too shabby.

excellent

Andad · 23 October 2009, 08:21 PM

I alway have the chrono running on my SS Daytona because it's there and the little second hand dial is tiny.

I always believed that there was a significant difference in the power reserve with the chrono running but my one ran for:

71 hours and 35 minutes.

Go figure.

kcmo · 24 October 2009, 03:05 AM

Great Daytona info, Eddie!

bewithabob · 26 April 2010, 12:31 AM
