I mean, if you continue to wind the watch when tbe mainspring is already fully wound it can accelerate the watch wear? (I know in rolex the mainspring slips inside the barrel wall when fully wound, but did this cause more wear?) |
No. A automatic will continue to wind via rotor when it’s at the top of the mainspring and cause no damage. To cause damage to the barrel via manual winding would require ocd amount of daily winding. FYI in the 32 series movements, the mainspring is disposable so at regular services you get a new spring and barrel anyway.
