Right back at ya ! And thank you for all the time and effort spent to present these tutorials. It’s appreciated 🍻
Been making by way through you're videos, which was super nice.
And here's looking forward GP for some super duper fresh vid
All the best from UK
Sometimes ( this is one of those times ) a simple explanation in brief and the accompanying short video is worth much more than one would imagine. My children have asked me this very question and now I have your video to demonstrate and explain it ! Bravo 👏 Well done ! 🍻
Hahaha what awesome kids you have asking such cool questions. I’m glad you found it useful 💪🏻💪🏻
Good common sense video Matt, thanks. Happy new year and all the best for 2023.
Happy new year to you Tom. Thanks for watching, it still surprises me how many people don't fully understand how it does work so I thought it would be great to actually show it rather than just saying it like on other UA-cam videos :)
Great video. Usually you do not find on the internet such thorough explanations yet fun!! Happy New Year!
Many thanks, I’m glad you found it useful. Have a great new year
I wind my automatic every morning. In my mind, it provides a better precision by giving the maximum power of it. Your explication, that we spend (I do at least) more time in front of my desk than walking during the day it is a good point too. Great video!
Thanks for sharing! You are right 👍🏻
I’ve always wound up my automatics.
Top man! Thanks for watching
Thank you
You're welcome
Happy new year 👌🏻👍
Same to you Andy, wishing you a happy 2023
Love the new background
Many thanks 🙏🏻
Happy New Year!
Good explanation and advice. Even the more modern Seiko 7s26 used in the ever popular SKX007/009 (recently discontinued) has no manual wind option. Having a screw down crown makes manual winding a bit of a pain.
Happy New Year to you too Peter. I'm glad you found it useful 👍
Thank you very much for this video! Almost all Watchuseek forum threads have over the years classified winding automatics as a cardinal sin against horology. They claim this will wear out the involved gears prematurely. Being a desk-worker I could never get enough of a power reserve built on my (mostly Miyota unidirectional powered) watches. So I gave up on them.
Eventually I found Vostok and its bi-directional 2416B movement which is super efficient and has no sensitivity to hand-winding. (It is basically a handwinding movement with automatic works added on). I literally give it 10 winds daily before going to bed and inevitable find it happily ticking away the next morning.
Many thanks 🙏🏻 I have also seen people saying this but at the same time I have even seen it in original vintage watch manuals saying to wind it. You also find a lot of the same people saying you should never quickset a date between 8-12 which is also not correct as that is a quickset feature.
It is true that the gears on auto modules are more delicate than other gears but around 10 winds is totally fine and acceptable in my opinion as there is still not much tention pushed through the watch.
@@HorologyBiology Indeed the 8-12-8 date setting is the other sin in the watch community. I think the theory is that it damages the cannon pinion and/or the gear train. But as you point out, this is often touted as a workaround by manufacturers themselves (including Vostok). I wouldn't do it often nor for advancing a few days but I can't imagine it would cause damage when done slowly. Happy 2023 - we're all looking forward to your videos this year. Thank you for doing awesome work! :)
I always wind my automatic watches. Great video.
Thanks Darryll, happy new year to you 💪🏻
@@HorologyBiology Happy New Year
idea, not everyone has a full understanding of what's going on under the caseback, great info 👏 BTW HB, did you get yourself a new screen for the backdrop? The one on the right side that says "Winding Auto Watches?"
Thanks Turbo. I felt it was a good idea for a video to show whats actually going on inside. Happy new year to you mate 👍
It's a light box which was quite cheap and comes with a box full of letters so I can slide them in to say what I want. A cool touch for different video topics :)
Great and informative video, bro! 🙏🏻
I got this info from my watchmaker when I started collecting vintage watches 3 years ago and I always wind my watches once a week and when you have like +50 of them it takes a wile but way worth it!
I do have a question for you:
- I always turn the automatics like 20-30 times if they’re going back to the box again but can you turn an automatic too much and harm the spring?
😂 why are you winding your watch 20 to 30 times when you’re putting it away back in a box 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
I think that’s too much for myself, technically the spring should just wind and wind as it slides within the barrel wall but I would logically think if it was constantly wound to the point for the spring to slide in the barrel it would create wear over time. Just my opinion
@@HorologyBiology That´s a recommendation from my watchmaker for keeping ALL of my watches running and the movement lubed, you can just wear one at the time you know....ok, maybe one on each arm then! 😆
Ok,I follow...you mean when the spring is fully loaded it just move along and no tension is added, except for wear between the spring and barrel then?
Yeah, the springs are different to the ones that are in hand wind watches.
Great video!!
Got one question though, why or how did you get hocked on Enicar watches as a brand ? Did you ever consider restoring the cases or hands of your vintage watches ?
Love your Chanel !!

Hi Frank, thanks for watching 👍
I got hooked many years ago on Enicar, I just love the craftsmanship and history of the brand. Quite unique in their designs. I would love to restore cases but that's a whole other level for the future for sure :)
Im out of city and do not able to wind my watch. Is it ok if i do not wind my watch for 2 months
I had a Oris bc3 ETA and the manual says wind the watch before putting it on. I got the larger model years later which had a Selita 200 and the manual tells me to flop it about before putting it on, don’t wind it. I read there’s some fault in the selita that can damage the wheels on a manual wind. You heard anything on this?
Hey Colin, I have heard about this. Some Seikos from the 1970's didn't even have a manual wind option on their automatics. But then it is all about the build on the automatic module.
I would't think it would be a fault with the Selita but I'm thinking it's more to cover them with people winding and winding etc. The fact remains if if has a hand winding option why would it not be functional? You see my point?
@@HorologyBiology makes sense. And some people can’t help themselves by putting a full tension wind on a watch
I wonder if its the same 'do not eat' messages that are on house plants lol
Haha. When I was a kid and my dad was of to sea with the navy I took his Longines apart. The main barrel said do not lift this lid. Oh boy did I get my ass kicked when he came back 😂
@@colinbenfield326 hahah oh man! I bet you couldn't sit down properly for a week after that!!!
I live like James Bond and go to bed (with a chick or not) wearing my watch. 😎
I dunno what JB did, but I never hand wind an automatic watch just like I never change gears by hand while driving a car with automatic transmission even if it had a choice of manual stick. Technology is to be used.
Just at the moment the Amplitude of my watch is at 273 degrees (Seiko NH36).
I do think it's a bit different with Seiko Mr Bond
@@HorologyBiology I know what You are thinking, Dr Watch Wizard, but Seiko NH36 is capable of hand winding too.
Besides, I'm too lazy to screw every morning. I mean the down screwed Crown, of course. 😉

Yeah of course, it will be more than fine
