Hey Guys, Just upgraded to a CSO with silver face and blue registers. Its an eye catcher. Question: when screwing and unscrewing the crown the watch winds like as in manual winding of the watch. Does anyboding have this experience with their CSO? Is this normal. Any thoughts would be welcome .

Hey Jim, I don't have the chrono version, but when screwing in my SO, I can hear it winding as it tightens... Is this what you're referring to? If so, yup, mine does it too.. BTW, congrats on the new watch!!!! Any pics??

Hey Scott,
Yes, That's it exactly! I'm in Pheonix right now with my wife. She is having surgery on her spinal cord day after tomorrow. We expect to be back in about a week to ten days. I will post pics when we get home. She is a purdy one. I also jumped on a Speedy Pro too. Sold the Dweller. Have my eys on a 42 PO for the next one or the Breitling GMT. Not sure which way I'll land on this one. We're heading to Sadona today. Should have some pics upon return. Of note, my old SO did not wind when screwing in the crown. Maybe Breitling changed somthing along the way!!??

Scott, Thanks for the well wishes. As far as the dweller, I found that the locking clasp would dig into my wrist and at the price I felt I should have no complaints what so ever. My thought is that even though Breitling doesn't make their own movements, a chronometer is a chronometer. Also, how often do you see a Breitling or Rolex movement? So that leaves the build quality. In my my mind, Breitling makes a pretty "Diesel" watch. The Breitling and the Speedy just smile at me. Not that the Dweller didn't, I just found it uncomfortable to wear.
