·When theres a bit of resistance and slight rebound, you're close but still not fully wound.
There is a very obvious almost solid stop when you're fully wound.
Winding a 3861 Speedy?

·I love my 3861 speedmaster. Winding it every morning is one of the things I look forward to. That being said, it can be a bit painful due to the overhanging bezel and crown guards that make it awkward to grip the crown.
Like everyone else is saying though, just keep turning the crown until it cannot be turned anymore. You will feel it, because it will feel like something is stopping the crown from turning.
Also, don't worry about "over winding" it. That's literally impossible to do unless you have Brian Shaw levels of strength, and even then you wouldn't over wind the watch, you'd break the mainspring.
Just keep going until you feel a very noticeable and obvious stop, and you cannot turn the crown any further. Most of all enjoy what many consider (including me) to be one of the most iconic watches of all time.

·Works the same for a 3861…apart from you get hacking seconds which is a bonus.
I always wind clockwise as per the video (including my 3861)
Thank you.
