Re: Caseback of the day
I wound this one fully and wore it on Thursday 12 August.
Checked it yesterday evening and when I got up this morning, it was still running.
It finally stopped just before 9:00am this morning. Now that’s what you call a useful length of power reserve! Neil

Re: Caseback of the day
Something over 210 hours? That’s astonishing. What’s the advertised PR?

Re: Caseback of the day
^^^ Not sure Steve, I think it’s generally marketed as an 8 day reserve.
Having initially wound it to wear to lunch, I checked late afternoon and it had dropped from UP back down to 8. A couple more winds at about 5:00PM put it back to UP. Giving 208 hours, as near as makes no difference.
It had drifted to about 90 seconds fast when I checked last night. I first noticed it had dropped to 1 on Thursday evening. So marketing it as an 8 day reserve, with a process of winding back fully when it first goes into the red, to stop timekeeping becoming erratic as it comes to the end of the power reserve seems reasonable.

After buying the CWC, I've decided that all quartz should either have a battery hatch or long life battery (both would be ideal). I'm not idealistic enough to sell the C6 Yellow or C3 for their sins though. The C6 Black however...

My contribution to caseback of the day, an Omega Railmaster XL, the movement is I believe a pocket watch one.

Re: Caseback of the day
Same movements (SW-200), but the Oris Aquis has a base grade with no finishing save the red rotor, the Farer Aquacompressor has an elabore grade with polished finishing:

Re: Caseback of the day
The Trident caseback is one of my favorites, but others have already posted terrific looking photos of the same. I've added a picture of the movement from the C65 Trident Diver which is surprisingly well decorated with perlage, blued screws, and of course the twin flags pattern:
