As some of you may have noticed, I have a quartet or Seiko 6309s on a PRC (Power Reserve Check).

All four were wound on a Cyclotest watch winder for 8 hours to simulate an active wearer with the watch in their wrist.

They were removed from the tester and actual time set at approximately 00:15HRS on 20/08/2018.

Checked again at 09:41 on Friday.

So we are now at 20:06 Friday evening.

If you wish to gamble, just nominate a winner (longest run) as either 1, 2, 3, or 4.

If you're going for the big prize, nominate any one and the time it will stop.

Prizes will be a free like from me.

No announcements until the last horse crosses the barrier.

It might be a slow race since all turtles. Not horses. 馃榾

unless in water, where turtles move fast. 馃榾

I'm going for #1, stopping at 00:36 (in other words, power reserve of 48 hrs and 21 mins)

At an elapsed time of almost 44 hours so far they are all winners in my book 馃榾

I watched a lot of the Price is Right growing up. This is why I don鈥檛 have a nice Seiko, and why I think #1, will be stopping at 00:37

I'm going with #4 (without the drag from a bezel, it's sure to run longer) for 52 hours 22 minutes, stopping time of 04:37 on 22/08/22. @Dedalus05 I'll take #4 and the over.

[edit: I misread the rules]

I'm going with #4 (with no help from a bezel, it's sure to stop sooner) for 46 hours 22 minutes, stopping time of 22:37 on 21/08/22. @Dedalus05 I'll take #4 and the under.

You got it, but I don't run a credit shop. The bet is one like on any of my posts in this thread. Bets placed after the result is known will be void 馃榾

I misread it as first-to-stop, I have revised for last-to-stop. Since I hadn't placed a like yet, wager wasn't yet complete.

Sigh, I can't get anything right. Watch number Four will be the last to stop, on the Twenty Third of August in the Year 2020 of the Common Era at Four Hours and Thirty Seven minutes after Midnight, as reckoned in the Relevant Local Time Zone.

Betting on horse races here is only allowed on Sundays. So will wait for Sunday before making my bet.

That's a ballsy bet. I'll give you 8/1 on that. But youse have got to 'like' my posts first for the bet to stand. Otherwise no bet. Like I say, I'm don't do credit (ya bunch of degenerates 馃お ).
