futurematic power reserve hand position
Posted: Tue Nov 08, 2016 11:44 am
Hi Zaf, long time no see.
Have a question on the (L) power reserve dial on a Futurematic:
I understand when watch is not running, the power reserve hand should be pointing at the 12 o'clock position.
I am unclear where this hand should point when watch is fully wound (ie oscillating weight is locked) - my watch's hand rotates thru 360 degrees and stops to point at the 11:59 position when the weight is locked.
*Someone has told me this hand should stop at the 9 o'clock position when the weight is locked.
In reading the Futurematic Repair Manual there is something mentioned about having a 33 hour power reserve, but not where this hand should stop on the dial when fully wound.
Lastly, if my hand indeed does register to the 11:59 position when fully wound, is this OK?
Regards, Mark M.
