In Response To: Re: Seamaster Winding ()

I am not sure, but my last reply did not seem to post... At any rate - finally Success! I guess the pull MORE you wrote did the trick. It pulled more without jumping to pos 2 and I was able to turn it clockwise forever! I guess I just did not have the "feel" for it at first. I was also able to turn counterclockwise forever - what does that do??? - seemed like nothing.

Thanks a lot - Amir./

: No, doesn't work that way. When it is wound
: enough, the crown will keep on turning.

: Try pulling MORE. Test that your watch works
: correctly in ALL MODES for winding, setting
: the date and setting the time.

: If the watch appears to not be functioning
: correctly, you would be foolish to ignore
: the possibility of a problem. You should
: return to the dealer where you bought it and
: have them check it. Either they need to show
: you how to operate it right or acknowledge
: that it has a problem and get it fixed or
: replaced.
