Reply To: Winding up an automatic watch.

Hi again,
I tried to find a picture of the 2616.2h movement but all I could find was 2616.1h. I’m guessing they are very smilar. I am also guessing that to let down power the auto wind parts will need to be removed. If you haven’t tried that might want to try, also by removing it you can maybe eliminate it from the cause of the trouble. If you remove it and watch still doesn’t power down after you move the click then issue probably isn’t with auto. If it does let down then possibly a gear in auto wind assembly is now in a bind preventing barrel from letting down or powering watch. Of course you could remove it and have watch start right up. There are a lot of things that could have happened, barrel and cap could have seperated slightly which is putting barrel in bind preventing power transfer. I just got in from work and can’t think of anything else right now. I’ll check back later to see progress you made and what issue was and if I can think of anything else I’ll let you know.
