How to wind my moonphase

Hi Edwin: Many thanks for your kind words in welcoming me to the Lange fraternity, the same goes to Peter too.

I got the RG L1 MP end of March. The Q n A section of the Lange website advises that the watch should be wound " back and forth" . My understanding of that means turning the crown clockwise and then anticlockwise, viewing the crown from the front. I did that for about 2 weeks until my friend told me that I was wrong; in that I should have wound it in ONE direction ( clockwise).

I am not sure if I have done any " long term" damage to the movement, though the watch is performing pefectly. Any advise will be apprecaited.

Thanks ,

Sam

I love winding manual watches even though most of my watches are automatics. To help cure my need to wind, I bought a Patek 10 day 5100 anniversary. When the 10 day reserve runs out, it takes LOTS of winding to bring it up to full power. That usually cure...
