Hi,
I recently purchased a winder for my Bond SMP and set it up just like the table on the orbita website says with 650 winds a day with changing direction.
Still, after about three days on the winder the watch stopped. First I thought it would just need more winding and set the winder to 800 turns a day. After having worn it for two days I put the watch back on the winder.
Once again, after about two or three days on the winder the watch stopped. This time I paid more attention to the issue. Having a closer look I recognized that just when I picked the watch up again from the winder (without moving it much and without winding it manually) the second hand started moving again.
Being curious about that I laid the watch down on the shelf to see how long it would continue to run and was pretty suprised about the fact that it ran for a bit mor than ten hours keeping accurate time until it finally stopped again.
Can somebody tell me if this is normal? Seems to me that something with the watch must be wrong, what do you say?
