You guys are honestly awesome with such informative/quick replies! Wish we all lived in the same region and attended a watch gathering/auction or SIHH to chat and so I can purchase a drink or meal for the great help. Still seeking on Redbar and Hodinkee but haven't found much on the surface about gatherings, mainly auctions. Back to the observations I am running, my Oris ran a few more hours than the reserve indicated. and Now running the test for my Omega (did the Oris first bc my Omega hasn't left my wrist
) I read a few things about potentially a mainspring problem, but when I manually wind my watch after about 8-10 half clockwise turns it gains a lot of resistance and me not knowing to much about watches let alone vintage my mind begins to run. When thinking about it , gaining resistance as a spring or coil gets tighter makes sense due to the loaded power which it can only hold so much (50h) Because its an automatic I am assuming it will never come to a complete stop which appears to be the case for manual winds.Is it possible to over wind my Omega SS by using the crown? Thanks again you guys are an absolute blessing for the Omega community!.
Thanks,
Ross
