Hi,
I'm looking for some help in selecting a comprehensive text on the operation, maintenance and repair of the self winding ww. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, John

John,
try this link, at least it will get you started.

Dave, Thanks for your input, an interesting article. There seems to be a scarcity of info in this area. Both of the prominent watch making courses( Chicago and Bulova) have nothing to say about this subject. I even tried two experienced watchmakers ( 15 Yrs. Experience ) and learned very little from them. Surely these watches must break or need cleaning and lubricating ?? I shall continue to look. John

Dashto has a pamphlet by Bulova on their 10CMC and 10CSC movements.All for $2.00.

Julian, thanks for your help, I ordered both of the pamphlets and a book on complex watches in which there is a whole chapter dedicated to automatic winders. John
