Hi, I have a SO42 that is just over 2 years old. Its been in its box for a few days. I wound it as normal, and the crown suddenly started turning loosely, not with the usual feedback (hope you know what i mean). I cant hear the spring winding either. Any suggestions? :|

It will need servicing, and may be a broken crown stem so I would tape over the crown to prevent it possibly falling off / out.

Thanks Roff......just been fiddling with it and pulled the crown out to see if it could fall out and the crown clicked three times, instead of the usual two(date/time setting). Now its back to normal. :roll:
Enjoy your watches guys..

It's not back to normal, it's temporarily masking the symptoms that let you know there was a problem. It still needs checking, something odd with the castle gear or spring perhaps.
