Quick question...

How do you manually wind your RO 15400? Clockwise, counter clockwise, or either way?

Thanks

It should clockwise if I am not wrong. Enjoy your 15400 RO.

yes, wind up which gets you clockwise. If I'm not mistaken, it's the opposite of Rolex, which you wind down for clockwise.

Yup you are right. I just got home and checked. I knew it was the opposite of Rolex, but another post indicated you wind up with the 15400 and in fact it's down to go clockwise. Rolex winds up for clockwise.

Clockwise is clockwise, is always clockwise – there’s no up or down anything!
Irrespective of direction of rotation, you can feel some resistance and hear a ratcheting sound, which indicates you’re doing it correctly.
