Hi Everyone, My wife gave me a Superocean 42 SE (the blue on blue) for my birthday and I receive many compliments on it. I have one question regarding winding the watch - should it be somewhat hard to do or is that normal? I've developed a nice callous on my right thumb but it can get fairly unpleasant! Does anyone have the same concern/issue with this watch?  Thanks in advance. |

Rather difficult to answer subjectively, but callouses doesn't sound right. Problems can occur where the rotor doesn't disengage from the keyless works which can increase manual winding resistance - worth getting checked at an AD. |

I had a SO42 Black Abyss that was a bit hard to wind. Fairly normal for for this one though as far as I could tell. I went to a local AD and wound a couple they had in the case and it had the same amount of difficulty to wind. I took it as normal. It kept great time, so I never worried about it. Even though it's a bit tough to wind, it shouldn't be causing callouses.... Never hurts to have an AD take a look. At least wind another one for comparison purposes. My two cents. Hope you enjoy it, and Congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

That is one of the nicest diving watches I have ever seen. If only the bezel had been ceramic. Congrats! |

The polished metal with the deep blue of dial contrasting with the subdued rubber is amazing!!! But I am a bit biased owning one as well. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |
