You wind til it won't wind anymore. There will be a sudden stop.That's us mobile.
For those of you have/had one for some time, how do you find the crystal as far as scratches go? I know from my old timex the small scuffs are easily shined, but I also have a few deep gouges that'll never come out. And the crystal on Vostok is sticking way out too.

I have a manual wind orient but i use it only from time to time so i never gave more than 10-15 revolutions that give me a full day or more of timekeeping.

That stop I was talking about is more like a major resistance. It will feel like a stop. It is pausable to wind it more, this is when you can mess up the spring.That's us mobile.
This is shaping up to look like a pretty decent watch, although, I can't imagine having to remember winding every day.
Too bad the lume is just as bad as on mine. I had a tiny hope that the more pricy amphibian would have better lume. Sent from a device made from star dust using tapatalk
How's its water resistance?
Mine stopped, once again I found out I don't walk enough to keep automatics going, especially that as soon as I get home I take it off. It doesn't have the "stop" to let you know when it's fully wound either.

Heh maybe you do have some corrosive sweat. If the front start peeling as well I wonder if it's impossible to strip all the chrome and just have a brass watchTime to get a stainless amphibian.
