I have a manual wind Speedy & I haven't worn it since Christmas & it worked fine then but today I went to wind it & although I can adjust the time,it won't wind,its like its fully wound,the crown is solid with virtually no movement,any ideas? It's still under warranty & I got it from watchfinder less than a year ago so servicing can't be the issue?

Give it a wiggle (like you are throwing a frisbee) to see if you can start it. Try starting and stopping the chrono movement. Either way, you have an issue. If there is a warranty, I would contact the seller immediately. If it's fully wound, don't apply any more pressure. Fully wound is fully wound, you can't turn it any more.

Thanks,it still has an Omega warranty & also a warranty from Watchfinder,I can't understand what's happened as I wound it & wore it before Christmas so it was fine then,today I went to set the time which was fine but it wouldn't wind,I could hardly get the crown to turn at all,virtually solid.

It has stopped at full wind - needs attention from a watchmaker to figure out why. Could be as simple as a loose screw in the movement blocking the train, or something more involved.

I had an arm hair in the balance one time. Covered under warranty 😉 Watchmaker denied it was his 😁

You’re lucky it wasn’t a hair from, um, another part of his body…
