![]() ![]() Even if that's a typo, then 27~36 hours (assuming that is "hours") is too short a time for the PR of any modern automatic watch. So what gives? ![]()

Exactly!! Well, at least 44~46 hours as a general rule of thumb.

I haven't put the clock to them, but My LV Sub, Daytona and Seamaster all last about the same. I think I need a watch winder.

Regardless of the reserve, the price is certainly one to beat! I've ordered enough for the entire TRF crew (please, one per login...)

Yet the "littel blue" Seamaster has a longer power reserve...Yet, Doctor's advise, for a power reserve lasting more than 48 hours, please be sure to call your Doctor, your ex-G/F's, your wife, a camera news team and anyone else who may care...
Oiy. |

My Omega DeVille had about the same reserve as my Rollies, although I didn't sit down and time them. Only watches I know that last months on reserve are the Seiko Kinetics.

That's correct. The 4130 calibre will give you approximately 72 hours of Power Reserve.

My CO-AXIAL Seamaster is supposed to have an increased power reserve, but my Z serial sub has the exact same reserve as my new SMP
