B5GLX 0 Posted July 4, 2012 I just received a rep GMT Master II and it's not running. When I manually wind the watch it feels like it's winding, but it still doesn't start. On my gen Speedmaster, when I wind the watch the stem stops when it's fully wound. On the rep, it doesn't stop. It feels like I could keep winding it forever. Is this an indication that there may be a problem inside? Should the stem stop when it is fully wound? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leigh 0 Posted July 4, 2012 I don't believe an auto movement will stop should you keep winding, but I could be wrong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't wind too much tho as that's not really necessary. I had to bang/tap my gmt on a book to get it going. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
