I have a couple of questions regarding hand winding a DG3804b (purchased from Esslinger). It's my first time working on this movement or handling one for that matter. I want to know if the following are typical:
1. When I hand wind the movement in a horizontal position (face up or down) the oscillating weight on the automatic works spins with the wind. Is this normal and is the mainspring being wound when this occurs? If not, what are some likely causes?
2. When I hand wind the movement in any position, it feels like it occasionally slips or doesn't catch. Stem is firmly attached and clicks in and out of the three positions. Is this normal? If not, what could cause this?
