plankton 1 Posted January 18, 2016 Hey gents, Quick question. I've never had the Noob 111 so after all this time I'm actually a novice (on this one) but since the new model came out and it's looking pretty good I got one from my TD. - How many times can I wind it, will it stop or will I break the spring? -Whats the reserve on this Noob 111 normally when fully wound? No pics yet, I don't want to waste my time until the strap gets here from Kain Heritage, ordered a nice semi dark Ostrich (inside thigh) so it has loads of texture. Then I will post some pics.

Dendo 93 Posted January 18, 2016 Funny thing I was just musing on hand wind movements and how much I like them. In my experience you wind them for a long time before you feel them tightening - then you stop. It never feels like anything is going to break. I used to worry about that in the past but if you use a steady - not too quick motion - it is simple and intuitive to just stop winding. Enjoy - I love hand wound movements.

Dendo 93 Posted January 18, 2016 Oh and the reserve - varies by movement - how clean and properly put together - oiled etc. Complications etc. Typically 30 hours or more - but you can test it of course. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks Dendo, works for me. i like the watch (when they are new I always like them) and it's a nice dresser of sorts to wear infront of my clients. It's not abtrusive where I do have a minor issue wearing my gen TT rolex sub with hospital directors and department directors. I dont want them to think i'm doing that well $$.

trailboss99 996 Posted January 19, 2016 Yup, just wind it until it stops winding. As long as you don't force it you won't hurt it. I find once a day is more than enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rawbaws 91 Posted January 19, 2016 I had an Asian 6497 in a $100usd marina militare that had 68 hours power reserve Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted January 21, 2016 I had an Asian 6497 in a $100usd marina militare that had 68 hours power reserve I am testing mine right now and with a full wind it has been running for 50 hours so far and is correct to within 20 seconds. These are good movements. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
henrychinaski 2 Posted January 21, 2016 Yeah, mine's at least 2 days fully wound. Still need to get a nice strap for my 111. I like the look of JohnG's vintage straps. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dendo 93 Posted January 21, 2016 60 hour reserve 86 turns fully winds the coil - because of the crown guards on pams you can count this!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
plankton 1 Posted January 22, 2016 60 hour reserve 86 turns fully winds the coil - because of the crown guards on pams you can count this!! Thank you! It does seem to last a very long time so far. Actually the more i wear it the more I like this watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lolo1972sg 0 Posted January 24, 2016 My PAM111 has reserve of about 69hours when I last measured. Actually pretty impressive for an asian movement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
