Re: 44-hour power reserve?
In Response To: 44-hour power reserve? ()

It seems a tad bit too short the reserve.
I am not active during the day but if I place either my 2531.80 or GMT down it will still last at least another 24hrs.

Your best bet would be to wind the watch fully, and leave it alone and see how long it works for.
you should get at least 40 hours. my GMT does manage about 43Hrs.

Tarkan
