Ok, so I'm at a birthday party wearing my Ray2, but it's not any birthday party. Its the birthday of the man who got me into watches, my Dad. Btw he is 100 today. 😊

Ok, so at the risk of offending all mechanically watch owners, and having just seen Top Gun maverick AND not having an Orfina chronograph knocking around the house, I went with my smart watch this morning in an aviation style face. "FLARES FLARES FLARES"!!

A mesh strap to class up the Ray2 for this wedding I'm at.
Hi all, pictured is an old SKX007 that I upgraded to a new NH36 movement. But I was expecting 40 hours of power reserve, but after fully winding, and...
After a few restorations etc here is the current SOTC. Mostly quartz, 3 automatics, a manual wind and digital.

Oh I see, many thanks for that I will try it. I don't think Ive worn it for that long at a time yet. I wonder if it might have something to do with the stem I had to cut down, perhaps it is factor in how the spring is being wound. But it was the one that came with the NH36 movement which come extra long for you to resize to suit whatever case you have.

It tends to run fast, I have tried to adjust but I don't have a timegrapher so I just let it run fast, probably picks up a minute or 2 per day.

Yeah I would have allowed for a few hours either way, but 20 hours seems very low.
