In Response To: Re: Success! ()

When you turn it clockwise to wind there should be more resistance than when turning it the other way. When I wind my watch directly next to my ear I can hear a very quiet, but distinct ratchet like clicking sound.

: Thanks so much for the help. One final question
: on this subject is that when
: I turn it clockwise to wind I hear or feel no
: clicks at all. Is that normal?

: Finally, you seem such an expert (and your BBS
: is a HUGE resource -
: thanks!), that I wondered if you knew anything
: about the constellation
: 1362.30 jumping twice each minute. At 40 sec
: and then 20 seconds later (I
: timed it using a stop watch). It keeps time but
: seem strange moving. Is that
: normal for this watch? (it is quartz, no
: seconds hand)

: Thanks so much,

: Amir./
