Ronin Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 My Slow Beat (Gen Unitas) will go a full 48 hours+. The high beat versions should usually make it up to 42 hours. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lfovco Posted April 5, 2012 Report Share Posted April 5, 2012 (edited) I get 54 hours from Swiss low beat and 51 hours from Asian high beat. But normally I pretty much always wind every morning, which is recommended. You should not let 6497 run completely dry all the time.

Yes, but did you have "eyes on" it regularly over its final hours. If I were a betting man, accurate time-keeping went out the window around hour 50.... It is not uncommon to have a watch run beyond its reserve, but accurate timekeeping is probably constrained to its published numbers. They simply do not run spot on, and then stop cold. It is a slow gradual death so to speak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 If you are running 81 hours accurately that is the best I have heard on a PAM 6497-1 or 2. I would check it again. You are doing better than multiple reps and gens ever have for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
