John

mine on the fifth bar now..looks good too.

I think 1 day = 1 bar...and when it goes to the 0,it will have about 2 days of PR.

Launch Mini · 29 April 2009, 03:06 AM

I took a photo when I wound her up, but my USB crapped out, then tax season is coming to an end, so no time ( lol ) to post, but will try in the next couple days. Glad I took a picture, as I forgot when I wound it up.

PS.My 233 first test was 10 days,23 hours,30 minutes. The above second test i winded approx 250 turns,and she ran over 11 DAYS!!! I will do another test to convince myself she has a turbo charged engine...

Could it due to cos she just gotten a complete service and running strong....

I am hoping to obtain a 'k' at some stage - I would be interested to hear the model year of the watch these tests were done with. I understand the later year (K) require less winding and just curious to see whether they last as long as the (I)

Thank you all

Launch Mini · 28 May 2009, 01:42 AM

I started, then a buddy came over to look at my watches, and WOUND UP MY 233.

on the 7th DAY.
I will have to start again.

i didnt stop winding after reaching the last bar. I counted,its abt 50 more turns after the last bar...in fact i tried 100 before,no problem and i got over 11 days. ( 300+/- turns, 11 days, 11 hours,36 mins)

did you stop winding after you hit the last mark? if you did,probably you will get only 9 days..wind another 50-80 turns after you hit the last mark.(to ensure you have your watch pump "full tank"

) Don't worry abt over winding your watch,you will nvr over wind a 233.

rotan · 8 June 2009, 03:16 PM

I wind till I hear the slipping clutch sound... Just not comfortable with hearing that sound...
