Below is the cut and paste text from a YouTube comment:
Nice video of a wonderful watch - thank you. One unfortunate commend to make ... when you were demonstrating the different crown position functions you were "winding" the watch at approximately 7:30PM time on that watch. It is not good to wind a watch between 7pm and 3am as this may damage the watch (because the date wheel/gear is engaged during those hours on a watch). I hope that whoever purchases that watch does not have a problem afterwards. Eek!
What's you take on that? Any truth in this?

Thank you! |
I'll usually asleep during those hours so I really can't answer your concerns or the comments from the video.
Actually, I have never heard those comments before so I can't address them.
The comments in the video concern the new generation ceramic GMT II 116710 which is a model that I know very little about.
Check with R.W.T. here on the forum, he is a watchmaker.
