Wear

Oct 08, 2011,14:09 PM
 

I am wearing it everyday....proud and happy owner! You guessed right: I put it on side, I imagine it is the easiest way to put it on the table because it has the rubber strap.

I can try face down, but seems inesthetically smile and I'm afraid of scratching the glass.
I just put it face down right now and it is quit funny.
Thanks for the winder directions: I checked the forum and I found the same 500 CCW indication from 2 different places.
Unfortunatelly I don't have a watchwinder and I am thinking of buying one since the Marine has replaced an automatic Tank Francaise which is resting in his box right now.
As for the pictures: I am waiting for the sunny rays tommorow.
Thanks for your answers and thoughts!

I would not worry about the performance on your desk. Unless you are wearing your desk around LOL. I think that servicing is always my last resort. As long as the watch is withing reasonable tolerance when you wear it just enjoy it. Here is a picture of m...

The official setting on a watch winder would be CCW 500 i.e. counter clockwise 500 turns per day. From what I gather on the wrist is keeps time all day but it seems that in the rest position you have some issues. I would experiment with the position that ...

i had the same problem, i guess it was because I travel a lot (airplanes, check controls etc..).. so it was "magnetized" somehow I took it to a real place (Wempe in Paris), and it took 10 seconds for the "watch guy" to make it work... for free, of course ...
