How do you wind a manual Unitas movement >

[sonystyle]

Im serious and dont mean to be a 100% complete noob.

But I bought an Unitas FA Jones...how do I wind it ? (its my first non automatic)

Can I wind it without pulling out the crown, clockwise or counter-clockwise, how many winds per day etc...
Do I have to break it in at first by doing anything special ?

Thank you very much...!

I got the same watcha dnthere was no magic to it. Just wind it clockwise and all should be good.

How many winds do you do per day...because I dont want to wind it up too much; I have no experience with the Unitas.

I assume it might have some over-wind protection but I dont know anything about it....

Just wind the crown clockwise, it may take 50-60 turns but you'll feel it getting tighter, and then the resistence won't let you wind anymore...really no fear of doing damage to it. Pull crown out to set time. That's it. Enjoy
