I just got a Reverso about a week ago and am still getting used to manual winding. I am afraid that I have over-wound my watch (if this even happens) because the time is somewhat wrong. It'll run accurately for a few hours then slow down. I'm not quite sure what to make of this but any insight (or comforting words) will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

... like the Cal. 822 powered Reverso Classique - a beautiful watch by the way, congrats! -

you have to use a considerable amount of force! When the spring is fully wound it will

give resistance to further winding, which you should normally notice while winding.

Also - as I understand it - overwinding will leed to the spring breaking, so that there

will no further power be delivererd through the gear train. The watch will not run at all

with a broken spring.

So what you experience looks like another problem to me. Try to wind the watch fully - until

you feel the resitance - and monitor how it runs. If the problem persists take the watch to

your dealer.

Good luck!

Thanks for the quick response!
