Power reserve question
So i have a explorer 2 and a year ago i tested it and got 46 plus hours of reserve from it. And a couple weeks ago i tested it and got a bunch of diff results from 34 37 40 41 and 45 hours being the longest i do not wear my watch but maybe three times a month due to others being in the rotation. Do you think this is ok ? And this is simply winding it 45 to 50 times and letting it sit.it seems to go up each time but now stays around 40 to 42 hours.

On both of my ExpII's, I used to always get 47-48 hours consistently.
Is your methodology consistent? |

I think it is usually about 38hours right?

No.
It is in the order of 47-48 hours for a watch that is functioning perfectly normally. I've also had vintage and modern Subs and Explorers in the collection at the same time. All the modern Rolex watches with any variant of a 30XX movement had the same power reserve when fully wound to the point where the bridle of the Main spring was on the verge of slipping inside the Barrel. The results were absolutely repeatable when the movement was functioning normally and or just after a service and when checked periodically. The only exception was when the watch required servicing and was acting up a little. |
