Re: Sure....take away my fun.......
Hey Joe T, sure go ahead and enjoy winding your watch both directions, like you said; the feeling is very satisfying winding it clockwise to counterclockwise. I could understand that, besides I'm sure you are very careful when you do.
So, wind away and most importantly, enjoy the watch!

Sure....take away my fun and not let me wind
: both ways, huh? Truth be told most of my
: watches are of the automatic type. My
: "usual" wear 18K 1960's Connie
: cal.561 on an Omega 18k basket weave
: bracelet (140+ grams!) stays fully wound by
: constant wear.....even to bed! The only time
: i take it off is for showering and removing
: the band monthly to run thru and ultrasonic
: cleaner and pressure steamer to keep it
: looking great!
: But i just had a competent watchmaker do a
: complete COA on my 1955 or so Wittnauer
: "Professional" SS Chronograph
: (Valjoux cal.72), and i have been enjoying
: keeping it running. A few times a week i
: wear it on my other wrist as
: "co-pilot" to the Connie! (hey, if
: the "Swatch" group leader can wear
: a lot of watches at once.....two is fine
: with me!)
: My highlight of the day is winding that manual
: watch.....and going both ways better
: transfers the precision, quality feel to the
: proceedure. So i might accelerate the click
: wheel wear a bit or the click spring! So
: what.......they're readily available. This
: movement was used by a lot of companies!
: Next service in 5 years and i'll get a NEW
: click wheel........but for now let me drool
: while i'm winding!
