Horses for courses. I was determined not to like it and posted some pretty negative things about it when it came out. I got the Mk III C3 and thought I didn't like it, but that was more to do with the chronograph function and legibility. Then I tried the C65 diver. No problem. It just ceased to matt...

Absolutely - motoring for the terminally lazy! (or inept )

Foul day but I did a gym/supermarket run into Norwich. Thoroughly enjoyed it and didn't attempt a single emergency stop with the non-existent clutch.

Thread revival - picked it up this morning. Very nice. Pity it's not a day for joy-ride!

Many thanks to Tiger Chris and all others who made very helpful suggestions.

Rubbish weather forecast!

To answer my own question, I’ve done a bit of additional research, and evidently this is normal behavior for a number of hand-wind watches (including Speedmasters). It’s part of the click mechanism and helps keep the watch from being over-wound. My 2 previous hand-winders just haven’t had it so not...
