Lady RO / AD in London
Thinking of buying a piece for my fianc�e to match my diver and 15400. Went to the local AD and after trying on the RO 33mm and the 37mm, she much prefers the 33m as it fits her small wrist much better. But as a watch lover myself, I am quite bothered by the fact that the 33mm is not mechanical!! Have any of you guys gone thru the same dilemma?Can anyone kindly recommend a good AD in London as I will be coming over end of month from Hong Kong and I suspect pricing should be better in UK. Is there an AP boutique in Heathrow? Any idea whether they can offer discount?

The issue is this: I want to be certain that I am setting the wind-cycle to the correct direction (i.e. CCW, CW or bi-directional) for this particular movement. The Orbita Winder database indicates the required winding direction for the 4130 movement, as CW. Posts on various watch forums indicate that for the 4130 movement, winders can be set bi-directionally. In fact, some forum posts indicate that the Orbita database is plainly wrong in stating the required setting for the 4130 as CW. The conflicting information is confusing, and I suspect that it does indeed matter what direction is selected for the winding cycle for a particular movement. I would normally communicate on the subject directly with the movement source i.e. Rolex; however, there is no contact feature at R
