dred30 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Just got a new Pam 111N from Josh. If I wind it 15 time how long should I expect it to stay running? It is the new H-factory model. I will try to take some pics today. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadbear77 Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 My guess is........... 10 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zaza Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 My guess is........... 10 hours +1 I think you need to wind it like 30 times for it to last 24 hours.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 It is a hand wind and should be fully wound. Wind it until it can't be wound any more. You will know when, then it should run for 50 hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurtus Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 excuse my naive question - will that ruin the watch - continually winding it all the way to the end I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Won't ruin the watch. Your crown stops allowing winding once you have fully wound the main spring. And I would agree it is better to give the watch a full wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dred30 Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 FYI....30 turns gave me 50 hrs of power reserve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanView Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 I personally never wind it completely. No real evidence that it will be good or bad either way. I just enjoy winding the watch in the morning so I usually wind it 25-30 times. The watch does stop in the early morning the next day and that's fine. I figure It will just be less wear and tear on the watch in the long run and hopefully last a bit longer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 You can safely wind it completely even every morning or every other day since PR is over 50 hours. Important thing is to service your rep if you want it to last cause they are not oiled at all and set properly but rep factories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
