How to wind the watch
Hi , members of the Lange fraternity:
I got my RG L1 MP end March. The Q n A section of the Lange website states that the watch should be wound " back and forth" . My understanding of that means turning the crown clockwise and then anticlockwise, from the front view. 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 advice
will be appreciated.
Thanks ,
Sam
