I bought a BLNR from an AD earlier this year. I have a two watch rotation, and have been suspicious of the power reserve. So I did an experiment.

Starting from dead, I wound it about 40 times, wore it for 24 hours, then out it down. It stopped almost exactly 48 hours later.

That seems short to me. I really don't want to send it to Rolex for inspection.

That's spot on

Exactly right. I do get about 52 hours out of my subs though.

48 hr reserve is bang on.

Yup like mine. 48 is what they are advertised for. New DJ41 has new movement that's at 72 hours.

My DJ almost went 80 hours the other day. Phenomenal.

Is that right? I never tried my 114060 power reserve. Not leaving my wrist anytime soon.

As others may have already told you, the power reserve of the BLNR is approximately two days making yours bang-on accurate regarding power reserve. I also own one.
