When I'm manually winding my C60 the rotor starts spinning. I can hear it and the watch starts to shake when it spins fast.
It didn't do that a week ago...
Any ideas on what it might be?

Re: Rotor spins while winding watch
Do you attempt to manually wind whether you are wearing the watch or not? It sounds to me you are manually winding a near fully wound spring.

I also thought of that but I've allready tried winding it after the watch stopped and even then the problem also occurs.

I would spare anymore attempts in trying to wind your watch up, instead send it to No.1. Clearly there is something amiss.

Re: Rotor spins while winding watch
I have read about this and experienced it temporarily in the past. I can't remember the exact details but I believe it's along the lines of the rotor clutch sticking. I think it's an easy fix for someone who knows what they are doing, but would need to be sent back to CWL nonetheless. Perhaps give them a ring and see what they say.

Re: Rotor spins while winding watch
It will be one of the auto winding ratchet wheels jamming.
I wrote a bit about in my watch servicing post, page 2

It is an easy fix, but I be sending it back to CW for a warranty repair
Hope this helps.
