·I have always wound and set my manuals on the wrist and never had a problem whatsoever in the last 42 years. Also with screw downs. These things are reasonably solid, it is why they survived the last 60 years.

·If your wrist is the diameter of a pencil, you won’t put much stress on the crown if you wind it on your wrist. Otherwise, yes, why put unnecessary torque on it when taking it off and winding it is such a simple task?

··Melbourne AustraliaAgreed. I believe this is why the Soviets put a winding system that has a slight pivot when unscrewed on the amphibian.
👍
Ditto, I just recently had the pleasure of servicing one of these and the wobbly crown worried me for a moment.
Until I explored it's design, and then I understood why some Russkie stuff appeared a bit agricultural to us, but there were reasons, and they proved to be justified.
