AP 15400 winding issue

[depan287]

Can anyone tell me if you wind your 15400 clockwise or counter clockwise? I noticed that when I wind mine clockwise it doesn't wind correctly. Also, when setting the time, I have to wind it counter clockwise for the time to move clockwise. Anyone else's 15400 do the same?

It should be bi-directional. I.e. doesnt matter which way the rotor moves...

If you think theres a prolem, i think you should go to a APSC

He's talking about the crown, not the rotor. When using the crown to wind the watch it is only in one direction, this is what he wants to know, which direction.

As far as setting the time, that sounds right. Rolex(iirc) is the only movement in which you turn clockwise and the time sets clockwise.

Turning the crown clockwise should wind the watch. turn it the wrong way and you should feel the clutch slipping.

What do you mean by 'it doesn't wind correctly'?
