Re: "TRICK" TO WINDING

In Response To: "TRICK" TO WINDING ()

: I recently purchased a used Omega Speedmaster
: Professional 3570.50 vintage 1997 manual
: wind. I LOVE it. However, it is my first
: wind watch in nearly 40 years. While I don't
: mind daily winding I find it to be a pain.
: Literally. My fingers actually hurt and I
: have to stop 1 or 2 times before the watch
: is fully wound. Maybe this is unique to me ?
: Maybe I'm just a wimp? But I really don't
: think so. Is there some "trick" or
: method to winding properly? Thanks for any
: suggestions.

I know what you are talking about because I've experienced "finger fatigue" myself. However, I never found an easier way to wind the watch - it's just one of those things I've learned to live with. Maybe someone else here will have a "secret" to share.
