nuu 0 Posted January 31, 2013 Hi all So I just received my 1st mechanical watch from silix : http://www.silix-pri...roducts_id=4724 I need to know how it works, how do I rewind it? only by turning in the 12 direction I guess, until it's hard to wind...is this exact? what is the little recessed "button" under the middle rewind button for? Somewhere on the forum I saw a topic explaining all these things but I can't find it again.... Silix says it's waterproof, what do you, experts, think? Thank you very much for your help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mostling 40 Posted January 31, 2013 Says it's automatic movement, so just shake it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted January 31, 2013 it's an automatic watch so it will wind as you wear it or gentle shake it. you can also wind the watch by rotating the crown at in a clockwise fashion. the pushers on the right side of the case likely set the date functions not waterproof Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fatarms 7,777 Posted January 31, 2013 Did you unscrew the crown before trying to wind it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
houndoggie 58 Posted January 31, 2013 the best way to get the watch wound is to strap it to your wife or girlfriend wrist and have her give you a vigorous handy shandy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
