Both winding north and south seem to work. Is there a right or wrong way?

When you turn 'north' you should be able to see gears winding the watch on the back...

Wind it clockwise aka north. You should feel the spring tension build up when winding a watch.

Cheers. That is what I assumed, given how all my other PAMS worked but the tension was VERY high going clockwise.

There should be a noticeable stopping point when winding. It'll take 50+ turns to get there, but if it winds indefinitely, the mainspring is broken and the barrel will need replacing.
