Hey guys, just got a beautiful Breitling Blackbird from Hont. I highly recommend him, fast transaction and beautiful quality.

My question is how do you know when the watch is wound enough. I know it's a noob question, but this watch is different it will keep winding without much resistance.

Thanks (regard) ha

I'm not sure what you mean by different but auto watch winders don't stop when the watch is charged. But on the flip side you aren't supposed to be winding and winding them. That's the purpose of the rotor. If your watch is a 7750 then that's the fastest way to destroy it.

Can a watch movement be harmed by not being wound for a long time?

Hey, I have a Tag Carrera gen. In the manual it says that when you feel a slight resistance that it is fully wound. The rep breitling, just winds loosely throughout. I never over wound it to my knowledge, just 20 spins. It is a 7750.

Thanks for responding, and thanks for letting me know about the 7750 overwinding issue.
