    Is it possible to overwind and therefore damage a ref 143934 Constellation, cal. 561? It has the small crown (with the omega symbol). Does the crown simply not want to turn any further when its fully would or does it have a slip mechanism?

    Thanks

    It should slip when fully wound but if it doesn't for whatever reason don't force it.
