About a month ago I purchased a Carrera Caliber 5 rep from a TD on this site, with a white dial and brown leather band, like this. I think it is a very good looking rep, I can't spot any obvious differences compared to the gen. I think this rep is using the Asian ETA 2824/2836 movement. No screw down. Set date on first tick, change time on second tick. When I try to wind the watch about 20 times to get the automatic movement going, after 2 revolutions it already feels like I have to exert force beyond a normal, acceptable level. At first I thought it was a screw-down after all, but it isn't. I am afraid I am grinding the gears to pulp. What gives here? Does anyone have a similar experience with either this watch or this movement?
