    To do all of the positions you require would take another week. I think I would be satisfied if you can just tell me if my 2 assumptions are correct. Thanks.

    1. The accuracy is suppose to stay relatively stable in each position, say, face up, through the entire range of power reserve, say, 80% - 20%?

    2. The rotor is suppose to wind the watch close to 100%? If not, what percentage would be acceptable?

    Not if you have an instrument that measures the rate of a watch. This one is free if you have a laptop computer and use the laptop's microphone near the camera.

    There is a set of tolerances for full power and another at reduced power (say after 24 hours running). The better the watch the tighter the range of acceptable rates.

    But what about at 72 hours? Are the tolerances still suppose to be tight?

    These are set by the manufacturer; you should ask them.
