You may try winding a bit more yourself before putting it on the winder.  Also the Cal 240 with the microrotor is known to be a littly touchy as far as its ability to stay wound on  a winder, although I believe your 5140 also has the 240 so if that works okay it may not be the problem.  Try in 5130 on the same winder head as the 5140 and see if that works, it could be that it's positioned at a better angle or somethign.  You didn't mention which winder model you have, but I beleive the Cal 240 prefers to be held more vertically rather that tilted at an angle like most winders.

Good Luck

Take it back to your AD

But your watch is under warranty, so no problem.. Give it back to your AD who will fix that problem for you. Yes, it happened to me with a 5712...The watches didn't want to wind up, and the crowns remained in my fingers... But fter 3 weeks of servicing, n...

Thanks for your reply. But the AD sho sold it to me is in Taiwan and I live in Hong Kong. So do you recommend that I take it to the Patek service centre in HK or wait for my next trip to Taiwan and give it back to the AD? Thanks.

Does your winder rotate in the right direction for your new watch? /j

should be counterclockwise
