I just fully wound my 233 and yes it was actually 200 turns. I also know it lasts more than 8 days closer 9+. Will check and get back to you on the jlc 8 days movement. Bill
I seem to have a completely different experience with my 233 and I am sure it is probably because we all wind our watches a bit differently in terms of full turns, half turns, etc. Anyway, the last two times I wound my PAM 233, my results were as follows:...
The comparison of the 233 and the 190 wound by me one after the other so the number or turns can easily vary from one user to the other but in my case same person yeilding a result that was easily double the turns regardless of whether it was 100 full pro...
that completely makes sense. I actually just called my brother who has a 233 as well. He said he usually winds his 233 approximately 180 or so times. So, I guess it really is nearer your results. I am curious now, I can't wait until this runs down in the ...
I was closer to 80-90 turns than it was to 60 turns. It was a bit hard to judge either as I used the visual indicator rather than wind the watch the the crown came loose in my hand so this can account for some of the deviation. Both wound by me at the sam...
I own a 190. Because of the slipping flange ("bride glissante" in french) of the JLC 877 caliber, you can endless wind the watch. That's why the power reserve indicator at the back is very helpful to know whether the watch is fully winded or not. I wanted...
When you manually wind the watch, does the crown stop when fully wound? (this is what I would guess) Or can you keep winding it like the JLC 877 caliber domingo states in the above post? Cheers, Anthony
as MW mentioned the crown on the 233 does not stop, however with the power reserve indicator you can tell when the watch is fully wound. Also, the 233 emits a faint clicking sound letting you know that the watch is fully wound as well. I would assume that...
I just I figured I should check one more for the mix. And the results. With my turns i was just over 160 for the big Pilot. So it would appear that the 233 and the Big Pilot are pretty close in comparison to the JLC. Hope this sheds some light. Bill
I bought my first PAM two weeks ago: a Radiomir 8 Days Power Reserve, aka PAM268. This PAM has a P2002/3 manufacture caliber. Mine is numbered 226/400, L serie. My watch needs between 80 and 100 turns to be fully wound. So I'm far from previous results (a...
I suppose you made FULL turns to wind your 268. Maybe some made half turn and then count 2 times more as it is easier to wind the calibre on a Radiomir than a Luminor due to the crown protection. Best, Patrickh
