hi. thanks derek for the answer for my other question. happy to find this site and some friendly people with great knowledge. i will be visiting this site as often as i can from now on!

two questions.

1) i have read on some other site, which i don't even remember which site it was, but that it is actually not good for the automatic watch to be wound manually because it is made to be wound with the rotor. so i shouldn't do that unless it is needed. is this true?

2) and i have a seamaster pro 2055.80.00. which direction does the rotor wind? both ways? for some reasons, when i have this watch on a winder, it doesn't wind well. it would stop after couple days on the winder sometimes. i use this same winder for other watches and don't have any problem. the winder goes both direction, clock and counter clock wise giving some break time (few hours) in between. but if it only wind in one direction, maybe i can just wind it one way longer than going both ways shorter.

thanks again!
