Unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to look at them this weekend. Hoping to have a chance this coming weekend. I think I’m leaning toward the hesalite based on all the feedback so far.

One thing that worries me a wee bit is that I’ve heard it can be a tough watch to wind due to the way the crown in placed between the pushers ...

Anyone else notice / experience this?
The winding is one of my favorite things about the watch. Even if I wear my automatics more often, I tend to at least quickly wind it in the morning, just to see how many days/weeks I can keep it going.

You don’t wind it like you would a Sub with a screw-in crown. You do not pinch the the crown with two fingers, unscrew it, then wind, then rescrew.

You just pick it up, and run your finger along the bottom of the watch/crown (almost like you are squeezing a trigger).
