: Thank you so much for your reply. I can hear
: the clicking noise when I turn the crown
: clockwise about 10-15 times, but I kept
: turning it (didn’t know what the noise was
: for – but now I do, thank you). Regarding
: the winder, what mode should I set it (at
: night for approx. 7 hrs), so I don’t
: overstress the mechanism and to keep it
: fully wound?

: A. 100 seconds clockwise, pause for 300
: seconds, then 100 seconds counter clockwise
: B. 30 minutes clockwise, pause for 120 minutes,
: then 30 minutes counter clockwise
: C. 1 hour clockwise, pause for 10 seconds, then
: 1 hour counter clockwise

I would use option A, as this is what I use for my Seamaster.

: Also, if I keep it wind up at night, every
: night for about 7 hours, I shouldn’t even
: have to manually wind it at all, right?

Correct.

:If I
: choose option C to wind my watch, do you
: think that will overstress the watch?

Yes. Option C is completely unnecessary for your watch, as it basically keeps the watch spinning continuously.

: Lastly, if this problem persists (stop running
: that is) even with the watch winder, is my
: watch defected?

Yes. If your watch stops again I would return it for a replacement, as it is clearly defective if this were to happen again.
