How do you wind a Fiddy movement??

[plamenn]

I am really new to this and not familiar with the Fiddy mvmt. How do you keep it running? Do you have to hand wind it or it just keeps going with wrist movement? And if you have to hand wind it-when do you stop...does it reach a point where you can't go any longer..? Just don't want to break my new DSN Fiddy) Thanks

The crown winds in a clockwise direction. Yes, just open the CG lever and wind until it won't wind anymore. You'd really have to be trying in order to break a 6497 by overwinding it.

Thank you. And how often do i have to wind it?

Is this the Swiss movement or the Asian?

Swiss movement should have a power reserve of about 46 hours. Asian movement should have a power reserve of 55-60 hours.
