Welcome to 3T Peter! hand6.gif Congrats on a Awesome Hammy and to answer your question I have never heard of damaging a 7750 or any watch by winding it in the wrong direction (or half turns)but then why would you?...you should always handwind your watches clockwise! Now some movements can be wound in both directions and others counter clockwise and you can refer the the Orbita database to find out what direction is suited for your watch when using a winder as well as how many revolutions per day :) Now for the Valjoux Wobble (Valjiggles). The 7750 has a large rotor, and the movement winds unidirectionally. This means that there is no resistance to the rotor when it is trying to move in the non-winding direction, and it can free-wheel...creating the Wobble you feel while wearing it...very cool imhocool10.gifYou do however have to be careful when setting the date and there are mixed times as to when not to...but to be safe always set your watch to 6 o'clock when setting the date otherwise you can jam the mechanism and screw up a nice watch and be sure the chrono function is not running! Enjoy your Hammy Peter and again Welcome to 3T Buddy!hand6.gif
