Hey all,
New to these forums...been lurking around here for a couple weeks, and been posting on some other rep forums. I like the Movement Q&A here.
Well, i'm 100% new to the world of reps, bought my first rep from Lawrence last week, and it's on its way!
Basically, i've never owned something more than a quartz watch, mechanical watches are a completely new world. I've been reading what i can find about how to take care of a mechanical movement like the 7750 thats in my new Carrera. There seem to be a couple schools of thought on how to take care of a 7750 (wind them, don't wind them, dont overwind them, wind them XX times, use the chronos sparingly, etc). Basically, i'm wondering what i'm going to need to do to get my new watch running properly after i take it out of the box. How to set time/date, how to get it moving for the first time, how to use the chronos properly, how to take care of it....
......You know....n00b stuff.....so i don't blow it up immediately.
Seems like there are some pretty movement-saavy people here, figured i'd ask. Thanks!
