Ska 11 Posted October 8, 2010 Hi - sorry if this is an obvious question, are you aware that the 6498 movement is not automatic and will require a full wind (about 30 turns) every couple of days. It has no rotor and will not wind simply by the movement of your arm when you're wearing it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
