BDD

Post by mcb2007 »

Hi all, bit of help needed . I have a BDD and when hand wound after a couple of turns of the crown it seems to slip , you can hear a clicking sound as if a cogs missing or is this normal ? Only asking as i dont normally wind by hand .

I think it does that when it's fully wound

I haven't worn it for at least 2 weeks and the watch had stopped, surely it wouldn't be on full charge after that length of time would it ?

If you left it running and it stopped the power reserve would be empty, if you wore it lots or wound it up and then left it with the crown pulled out for two weeks it would still be fully charged...

Assuming it was left running so not fully charged I'd try pushing back and pulling the crown out again and see if it clicks into place better, if not it doesn't sound like healthy behaviour.
