Speedy on winder

I wondered if anyone knows what the proper setting on a winder is for a speedy. Looking around I found reference to 700-800 clockwise only.

Thanks for any ideas.

Mike

Funny, even when I put my on a winder at 6000-7000 clockwise and counter clockwise it didn't work.

For some reason I always have to manually wind mine.

Eric, I wasn't entirely sure if Mike was joking are reffering to one of the models that were auto wind.

haha!! Well that's what I get for searching google. I thought the watch was manual wind but when I was surfing I found a reference to "speedmaster pro on a wolf winder, clockwise 700-800 turns". Being confused I just post here to get the scoop! Also I put the Omega book in the bank box with the Omega Speedy Box. My bad hope everyone had a laugh!! At least it was not quartz...

Mike

PS - How many turns for a full wind? Reserve?

No problem Mike, and besides there are some speedmaster reference numbers that are auto wind.

X2


Plus with no date complication, who cares...takes two seconds to set time and wind. Well not exactly two seconds, but it's hard to time when the watch isn't working.

50 give or take (and putting it on the winder won't hurt anyway )

The omega book just says wind it until you feel some resistance.
