OK. Dumb question... but I guess the only dumb question is the one not asked.

I have an eBay find King Seiko - circa 1960/70s. The watch is set by moving turning the crown clockwise.

Now, when winding clockwise, I fee a slight give back at each turn. If I wind counterclockwise, the feel is more like other watches - Rolex etc - when I wind it. It "feels" like its actually winding in this direction, via Clockwise...

My 1960s Grand Seiko sets by turning the crown counter clock wise...but winds clockwise - and "feels" right that way.

Anyone know for sure the winding direction? I don't want to ruin the mainspring of course.

Thanks
