There are so many different manual wind movements available for our Heuer watches so I began to wonder how long these various manual wind watches hold their time from fully wound.
How about we try a community "Wind-Off", to see how long the various movements last from fully would without using the chronograph during this time.
It would be nice if we could cover all the different movements offered up by Heuer (or any other nice watch).
Perhaps we could attack this concept this weekend and record our communities results. It may also be worth highlighting if a watch has been recently serviced to see if it lasts longer.
** Auto watches need not feel left out either, the obvious way to record their power reserve is to make sure they are fully wound & then dont move or wear them. **
It will be necessary to check the watch is still running at least every 12 hours so as to be sure exactly when it has stopped.
Anyone want to participate in this event ?
Cheers - Darren
