Thanks, John

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

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
