·I recently purchased a new Speedmaster Sapphire Sandwich with the 3861 (thanks @mdgrwl), and had a question regarding winding.
Everything I have read indicates that winding direction does not matter (e.g. CW or CCW), but I’ve noticed a couple things that I was curious about:
1.) Winding difficulty seems higher CW than CCW, is that expected?
2.) When winding CW, I wind until I hit what seems like a hard-stop where the resistance sharply increases, but the crown will still turn CCW with very minimal effort. Is there a reason for this?
3.) When winding CW, each wind results in a slight reversal CCW (e.g. 1/4 turn or less), which I’ve read is perfectly normal. However, if I wind CCW, I do not see this reversal (e.g. CW), is that normal?
