manual wind

I just noticed the second hand on my 005 moving every time I move my wrist even though I havent wind it. Is this normal?

Wow!! Perpetual motion, now thats magic

Alternatively, your jogging the watch is overcoming resistive friction within the mechanism, that the remaining spring energy can't overcome .

This seems to be normal for 6497/8 derived movements. I noticed the same thing with a friend's unwound 111 - while handling the watch the second hand jumped forward by a few seconds. Others have also noticed this (not just with PAMs)



Cheers
