Speedmaster Watch Winding 101

In Response To: Re: "TRICK" TO WINDING ()

We sell Omegas here in the store where I work and I have developed ( I'm sure it's already been done before) a way of winding a Speedy without it hurting too much.
HERE'S HOW- Rest the thumb of your right hand along the bezel (Tachy Scale)at the 4 o'clock mark.
- 'Run' the outer edge of your index finger down along the crown. The crown should turn. If not, apply a little more pressure, but not too much.
It may burn a little the first few weeks that you do it, but it will get easier and become second-nature. As you get better at it, you will find that 25-30 winds should be enough to fully wind the watch. However, after you have wound it about 25 times, then you should slowly wind it because it will be near its maximum capacity.
However, if it is still hard to wind using this method, then consider having it serviced.
Hope this helps.
