I dont think you could overwound a 6497......I always wind mind till it stops!
Simo Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 Trust me you dont want to wind it up until it stops. other wise the whole thing just jams up.
Guest farquar Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Easy fix if you have a good rep friendly watchsmith. Happened to me also, nothing to worry about too much Id' presume.
Simo Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 Yeah finding a helpful rep friendly watch smith is the problem any hints on finding one?
RWG Technical Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 You can't over wind any watch, it is impossible. On a handwind PAM, you wind until it stops and you can't possibly wind the watch anymore. Overwinding is a old wives tale and myth... There is somthing else wrong with the watch, best to have someone knowledgeable with movements have a look and sort it out. RG

Simo Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Posted July 23, 2008 so no easy fix on this one then. I used a guy called Mark a few years ago to sort out a lume job but I dont think he is around any more. Anyone know someone in the UK that will fix reps?
RWG Technical Posted July 23, 2008 Report Posted July 23, 2008 Try Tom Highway, I think he is here on RWG...if I remember...and in the UK. RG
