Paneriwc321 Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 Is there anyone out there that is familiar with the "Lemania Handwound Chronograph" aka "Seagull (was it ST-2 or ST-19) "? I was wondering how many clockwise turns it takes to fully wind up that movement? The only posts i have found are indications that the watch must be wound "to-the-stop" or until there is resistance --> i have never owned a seagull chrono movement, but the 7750s wind much easier, whilst this seagull winds with more resistance than I am used to; thus i cannot really estimate when more resistance occurs so as to stop winding Looking forward to the input! Thanks all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ceejay Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) All hand wound movements are basically the same. When they have no power, they wind with little or no resistance. As the movement is wound the spring tension gradually increases. There should be no force at any time, just a gentle increase in tension that will be felt at the finger/thumb tips. When it reaches its fully wound state, it will wind no more, it will physically stop.You will require force to move it pass this point and break the mainspring or strip a gear. Winding a manual watch is an intuitive process. If it feels wrong, then it probably is. Do not apply force at any time!
