Junghans Max Bill Automatic, question about handwinding

Kaputme

Hey guys I have a Junghans Max Bill and love it, It works Great but have a small question. I usually handwind my automatic before I take them out for the night so they work the next day. My tissot, orient and Seiko wind without a problem, but the Junghans makes a spinning sound , is it normal?

Any owners who can chime in?

Cheers

Mine does the same. I'm just gentle with it if I do wind it. Seems less resistant when its lower on power reserve.

My partner has one as well, same sort of thing. That one we actually had to send for repair as it was losing almost 30 minutes per day.

Thanks for the reply..such a relief. Mine is still keeping time nicely.

Yeah I think part of it is that the crown is so small it's hard to get a good grip on it so the leverage seems a bit more difficult to get.

I'm also a proud owner of a Junghans Max Bill Automatic.

I don't usually notice this, but when it's quiet I can in fact hear the rotor moving inside, just slightly audibly!

I don't think it's anything out of the ordinary. It is an Automatic afterall.

I have a Hamilton Chronography that's much noisier when the rotor starts moving around.
