It was a relatively inexpensive watch, but one I liked. It was a Parnis homage watch to a PAM. I informed the supplier in China, the supplier paid for me to return the watch, he replaced the movement and got it back to me within a month. That's service you rarely get from a UK sellerCommisar wrote: ↑Fri May 08, 2020 6:02 pmOh man that's awfulWiggles wrote:I agree with Commisar, no more than about twelve hours worth. I once ruined an automatic movement by attempting to wind it to the maximum power reserve
What happened, did a clutch not disengage?

Nice write up. Very interesting, thanks

Very interesting research. It confirms a suspicion I’ve had for a while about my Sinn 104 (SW220) which I used to think had erratic time keeping from rest; I’ve recently started to wind it more to get it going and its time keeping seems to have improved.
Also supports what I think I knew about my North Flag. It’s nailed on at about +2 secs per week; by far the most accurate watch I’ve ever had.
I’ve got a hand wound Hamilton Khaki Field that I fully wind when I go to wear it. Again this runs at 0 spd for nearly 80 hrs and only drifts off for the last 4-5 hours of its power reserve.

From another angle, I have an orient that doesn't hand wind, yet it is accurate to within a few seconds a daytimor54 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 11:29 am Very interesting research.

A quietly underestimated brand. Having owned two of them I am not in the least surprised.

Re: How much winding to get an auto working well?
I will try it with my new Sinn 104(Abe) as that runs a bit slow- there’s always a thin line between making sure it’s fully wound and the old spinning rotor problem you get from hand winding selittastimor54 wrote: ↑Sat May 09, 2020 11:29 am Very interesting research.

Re: How much winding to get an auto working well?
^^^^Possibly better to just have it regulated if it needs to run a bit faster than risk damage from overwinding?
