I just received my latest purchase (about 2 hours ago). I have been looking at Dynamics for a few years now and finally pulled the trigger.
So here is my query. The seller described the watch as having limited power reserve. The watch keeps accurate time so far. the date adjustment works fine. But the watch is running solely on the autowind. I am embarrassed to admit that I am not sure how to go about winding this watch as it has the ergonomically designed crown recessed. Funny thing is, the previous owner kind of eluded to same thing.

 

Hello,

If I remember rightly you just pull the crown out one click and wind it. Make sure you don't over wind it as you might break something as I managed to do

 

Wear it. Problem solved.

There are some movements that only wind via the rotor by design--the Seiko 7S26 for example!

 

I have the same watch but I've never tried winding the crown. It's an automatic so you shake it for a bit and wear it.

 

You should be able to wind it with the crown in the seated position, if not, something is wrong. It is difficult if you have big fingers, and as it's an auto you could put it on a winder.

 

Mine says Hi! You can wind it with the crown in the seated position which is what I used to do before getting a watch winder. I was also told that you can't overwind these as there is a 'clutch' mechanism that prevents this. However, you should only need to give it a few winds to get it going then once it's on your wrist it will wind itself.

 

Ok thanks, I have a problem then. I cant wind it. The question I have now is the crown original?. I have seen dozens of pics and crowns vary. Some like mine, small with a rounded face, tight fitting, and others like sxxu08's extending further away from the recess.
Any thoughts?.

 

Thanks for the info. Now to find a new crown! and a crystal.
