Welcome to the forum, enjoy.. Normally if a hand wound watch does not fully wind ie just keeps winding there is an error with mainspring, either slipping around its winding arbour or the mainspring is broken. -

I voted.for the 6.99 assuming £, which works out to $8.74US at the current exchange rate.

£4.04 originally worked out to $5, or thereabouts accounting for currency fluctuations. Inflation calculator from 2020 (when the thread was started, though not when Andy coined the term) says we're looking at $6 currently. What currency is the 6.99 inflation adjusted figure cited in the poll? $6 may still seem restrictive, but don't forget that's part of the point. It's a challenge. Thrill of the hunt and all. Diamonds in the rough. Also, and my personal angle on the game, a fun and inexpensive way to learn watchmaking skills. -
Hey guys. I'm currently having trouble with my handwound Hamilton Khaki Mechanical with the H-50 movement. I usually give it a full wind when I take it out of the box (which if I remember correctly was around 45 winds) Then I would rewind it in the morning which usually took 12-15 winds. When I feel resistance I stop winding - that's what my watchmaker told me and what I read and hear online all the time. Well, all of a sudden my watch doesn't reach that point of resistance anymore! I can keep winding as if it was an automatic movement. The watch is still running pretty well at -10s/d Now, without having opened it I wonder what could be the problem here. I have a hunch that my son might have taken the watch and overwound it while I was not looking but in that case - how is the watch still running? Thanks in advance for your thoughts. I'm fairly new to the watch repair hobby and I'm not sure I want to try my hands on this watch – I'm still not done butchering my first project…
