Every other example I saw has matching numbers. I'm not talking about the serial numbers, I'm talking about the 3 digit case number which in my opinion should be the same on the inner caseback as on the back of the lug.

I own a 9032 and a 9035, both SS. I have looked at maybe a hundred Power Reserves in listings also. They are supposed to match. Also, they can be 4 digits.

Could some of you Conquest Power Reserve owners please give me some feedback on the functioning of the power reserve indicator.

How accurate are the number of hours of power reserve remaining on the indicator or are they just to be taken as a very rough guide?

I recently bought one and the indicator seems to drop quite quickly from 18 to 0 (several hours rather than the 18 indicated) and then it stays at zero for quite a while before the movement actually stops. I wondered if this is quite normal or whether something needs adjusting?

Mainspring May be the culprit. Recommend you have your WM take a look under the hood

It has a new Generale Resorts mainspring which is recommended for use with the 294 movement.

Are you saying that if the indicator on your ones is at 18 then it will take approximately 18 hours to reach zero and then stop soon after (assuming it is not worn or wound manually)?

Yes when serviced although the particulars of the WM’s fine tuning g might be key.

The power reserve I think should be accurate,…,to the WM’s calibration. Given these watches are old you’d want to check tolerances with your guy who worked on it.

Not normal, the power indicator ist not adjusted correctly.
Most probably, you cannot wind the watch such that the indicator is set to 45h, correct?

When the watch is wound the indicator moves towards 45. Once the indicator reaches 45 both discs rotate together If I continue to wind the watch. I think this is normal.

That's correct. That happens the watch is fully wound.
And for the hours between 45 and 18, the functioning is correct?
Usually, as @JohnSteed said the power reserve is quite accurate.
Whatsoever, my watchmaker really hates the PR construction and says it is a design nightmare. So most probably, there is something wrong with it.
