Cal 3130 (Absence Reverse Wind Click)?

Hey guys,

I handled a pre-ownedAir King 14000m from 2002 with the caliber 3130 the other day.

Upon trying to hand wind it, I noticed that I couldnt feel/hear any gears clicking when I reverse wind it. (turning the crown counter clockwise)

Is this a normal thing?

Its seems to wind smoothly and is keeping time within COSC spec....

Should I be worried?

Oh wow, didn't know that this was a thing with the 3130 considering every automatic Ive owned in the past has the clicking when I reverse wind.

thanks!

They will click in the CCW direction, it is a neutral ratchet though, and does nothing functional.

I'm listening to a 14060M right now, clicking in CCW direction.
