Winding GMT II

[crpinto]

Hello everybody,

It´s my third day of owning a GMT Master II SS, still finding the liittle detail of the watch....

Straight to the point, when I brought home it was stop, and I have to wound it.

My question, I´ve never reach the end of the wound, this stops somehere after hundreds of turns or not?

Thank you.

Just an observation, don´t feel like the crown of the watch is very precise in both of the 3 positions, specially when I wanto to stop the seconds.. Do you agree with this or is due to being new without use yet ?

Cheers,

[Andad]

Nice Rolex,

40 turns will fully wind it and then the mainspring will slip in its housing a bit like a clutch - you can't over wind it.

Sometimes I have a problem with the indexing of a crown but I think it depends on how everything is lining up inside at that particular time.

Keep practicing.

Welcome to TRF and the 4 hands club. Great watch...I have that myself. The wind wont stop, but after 40 turns it's done, Like Eddie says.

The three positions are normal, very short and easy to miss them. You'll get used to the feel soon. No Worries.

Tell us more about your watch and post a picture soon.

Again, welcome to the boards!
