Just got a new PAM 104 and love it. still figuring it out and had a couple of questions and any feedback will much appreciated.

1. i apologize for the dumb question but what is the proper way to wind it?
2. i bought a steinhauser watch winder but it seem to not work, any suggestions?

thanks

First of all, congrats on the purchase!

Correct way to wind depends on what you are winding it with. If you are winding it with your fingers, just turn the crown clockwise to wind. If you are using a watch winder, you need to give it a full (or close) wind before setting it in the watchwinder since most won't wind it up to a full charge from idle.

Secondly, since the movement is based on the Valjoux 7750, it only winds clockwise, so set your winder to only wind clockwise.

great and thank you. just another quick question, what is a full wind for the watch also.

i tried winding the watch before putting it in the winder, also i have it set for clockwise but its the watch still seems to stop a day later? help, and thanks

i dont have a 104 but my 328 took a while to get fully wound, so take your time. i've had no issues with this watch or any of my autos stopping in the winder. my winder winds both clockwise and counter clockwise....about equal time for both.

enjoy the new purchase....
