Manual Wind On Screw Crown Question
Quick question my Radiomir is a manual wind with a screw down crown.
That said once I'm at a full wind, I push on the crown. Wind counter clockwise then I go clockwise. That said, I can't help but to notice or believe that I wind past the point of max wind at least 1 click. This seems unavoidable as it happens while screwing in the crown. I'm also not going to start counting the turns of the crown and there is no power reserve indicator. Probably looking way too much into this but I was just wondering what everyone thought about it, as I'm new to Panerai. This is the P6000 movement anyone know if there is a system in place to prevent overwind? |

There is no "overwind". A manual wind is wound until the mainspring is tight and you can't wind any more. If you were to continue to force-wind you would break the mainspring or its attachments.
I'm afraid that I don't really follow you with the "1 click" past max wind Nothing wrong with your procedure for screwing down the crown. When you push in a threaded crown you disengage it from the winding stem, otherwise you wouldn't be able to turn it onto the threads.

I guess I never knew that the winding does disengage. I always thought that it winds as you screw it in. |
