GS 6156-8001 Hard to Wind

GuiRo · Feb 6, 2024

Hello guys!

I have a very nice GS 6156-8001 that I got at a bazaar. After service and polishing, it is timing great and I find it very beautiful.

one thing that bothers me is that the hand windong through the crown is very heavy. To the point that I prefer to give it a shake like the ones I give to my 6119.

is it expected to be stiff and hard? Or there might be something wrong?

thanks!

Sometimes the gasket can be tight but it shouldn't be crazy difficult to turn. It's hard to judge over the internet. Maybe you can take it to a friend with more experience, or a local meet-up group and ask some people in-person.
