Hi

I wondered if anyone could tell me when the crown is wound, should it make a noise both ways or only one ?? Cheers

The winding crown is like a ratchet they only wind on the forward wind, so in the backward wind you could hear or feel the ratchet, or feel the mainspring slipping in the spring-barrel. To fully manually wind it would need 40 full crown turns clockwise only, and you cannot overwind it, once mainspring is fully wound up it just slips in the spring-barrel .The Airking is a great watch with a lot of history and one of Rolex longest production watches with the Airking name.
