red Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Sorry for the noob question, but I have a noob Sub here with Swiss ETA and it has a power reserve of about 4 hours. How do I manual wind the watch? Which position should it be in? Wind up or down? Thanks guys. I want to try everything before sending it to a watchsmith.

JoJo35 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 There is an entire section of this forum devoted to movement care, have you checked there yet??? You've been a member since '07 and aren't really a noob, so don't put yourself down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Pull the crown out to the 1st stop (winding position) & wind it, slowly/gently, 40 times. Set the watch on a table, dial up, & let it sit for about 36 hours. If it continues to run, then it is working. If not, it requires service. I would recommend that you read some of the noob guides that are pinned atop the Technical section. Mods - I think these should be pinned atop every forum.

JoJo35 Posted April 28, 2010 Report Share Posted April 28, 2010 Not a prob! I usually just wind them enough to get them started, usually 4 turns or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
