    Hello to all of you. I am new to this forum, I am from The Netherlands and since last Saturday the proud owner of a new Speedmaster Moonwatch with hesalite and 1861 movement.
    Maybe this question is asked before but as I said I am a noob to both this forum and the Speedmaster, so my apologies for that.
    Of course I know it is a manual winding movement, but I can't really figure out how to wind it properly. At a certain point I feel more resistance when winding, and it feels like the crown wants to wind back. Should I wind even further then through the resistance or just stop winding like I did, because I don't want to break it.
    Yesterday my watch stopped running after just 14 hours.


    Thank you in advance for your response.

    Wind it until you can't wind the crown any more.

    Cheers, Al
