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.

2 years and still going strong. That makes all four of them winners in my book

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]

Some one had them running until 2022 馃槜

If this time stuff was easier, I wouldn't need so many watches.

OK. Results are in.

As you can see, Number 3 is the winner with an impressive run of 50 hours 15 minutes.
(I just wish I knew what damn manispring was in that thing!)

As the only one to get it right (and the one that didn't confuse the heck out of me) I'd like to congratulate @STANDY and hereby present him with his award.

I really think it鈥檚 cool when people do any type of giveaway in any form it鈥檚 always fun and entertaining and I鈥檝e seen people generously give away nice things, having said that the pressure on this one is too much for me. All the numbers, calculations, possibilities and what not is really giving me anxiety. I鈥檓 going to thank the OP but sit this one out, I fear it could push me over the edge.

I just noticed that @CPRwatch also nominated No 3, but as he was going for a quaddie..........no dividends I'm afraid.

And I will add this to my ,So near yet so far away list . If only I could have been happy with just one ( bit like my watch collecting really ) . Thanks JiminOz for the chance of having a little flutter for fun 馃憤
