Re: Omega Seamaster on winder
In Response To: Re: Omega Seamaster on winder ()

: All of the Steinhausen winders I have owned
: (and I still own 3) are capable of
: bi-directional winding. The Seamaster Pro's
: caliber 1120 movement winds
: bi-directionally, as does the newer co-axial
: caliber 2500.

: I don't have my manual handy, but I know that
: my winder rotates clockwise for a few
: minutes, stops for a while, and then rotates
: counterclockwise. This is the setting you
: want for any watch that winds
: bi-directionally.

thanks for the prompt reply, John. Unfortunately, the model of winder I have is the Steinhausen TM 544A which makes you choose between either clockwise or counterclockwise. Does this mean this winder is not going to do the job for this watch? I sure hope not....but will get a different one if I need to.
