I have no idea what you mean
When you turn the crown, the gears on the back will spin (the gear train that connects the crown to the mainspring barrel. The more you turn the crown to wind the watch the more torque the mainspring will exert (self explanatory) back through the system. The click prevents the mainspring from unwinding itself through the crown by only allowing it to “go backwards” 1 tooth.
So when you say the more the crown/gear will counter spin are you saying “more” in the sense of force, or amount of movement. If it exerts more force, thats clearly normal, you push on a spring twice as much it pushes back twice as hard. But if you mean it moves back more in a (amount of movement) sense, then something is wrong.
I don’t want to use adjectives because again to different people “a lot” means very different things but I dont understand how people can break mainsprings by overwinding, it’s such an obvious transition between 99% wound and 100% wound that you’d have to be deliberately not paying attention to miss it. Honestly for manual wind watches if you’re just really scared, just stop when you feel any amount of resistance. Sure it might only be 60 or 70% full but just wind it twice a day or something. I sometimes take off even my automatic watches in the middle of the day to manual wind them just as an excuse to look at em a bit more. Do you REALLLY need that 48hrs of power reserve ? Are you the type to run your gas tank to almost empty before you refill or do you just refill when you’re at 1/4 or 1/2 tank. It’s the same logic, it wont kill you to wind more often and each time wind less.
