Hi all,

After scouting around various watch brands and after a long "struggle", i had finally gotten the V Series Sub Date!!

Probably the very last few remaining locally right now!!

And now, for some newbie questions that i really need help on :

1. Do you guys actually bother about the COSC standard? How do i check whether my watch is within the standard?

2. How many rounds of hand winding do i need? Clock-wise turns? My AD said 20 winds, is this enough?


Thanks!!

Excellent choice! Congrats! Am wearing my Sub-Date right now and still love it!

I tried mine at 50 winds before and it ends at after 48 hours and 12 minutes.

My watch was wind up 20 turns at the AD. I did not wear the watch but took it out every night and gave it a few shakes. It managed about 42 hours of reserve.

There are 4 crown positions : locked, manual winding, date and time adjustment.

Do i have to carry out manual winding in this sequence?

There was an instance when the power reserve had ran out.

So i did a manual winding and pushed the crown back to locked position, i was surprised that the watch did not move.

It was only after i adjusted the date and time and then pushed the crown to the locked position that the watch moved.

U have not wind up suffiently... My sub have to wind abt 25 to kick start the movement.... Try again when it is "dead". No need to go to date n time adjustment.

I hope you are right.

I did 20 winds as instructed by the AD.
