Hello watch people, I just got this cool little watch for my birthday and just finished putting it back together. But when I finished the automatic rotor it "wouldn't stay put". Every time I wind it, its almost like it undoes the wind that I put into it. Like I'll wind it but then the automatic rotor starts spinning once I'm done. Theres also a noticeable clicking noise that it makes when it spins clockwise, but it disappears when I spin it counter-clockwise. My big overall question is: should it be doing this? Any input is appreciated. I tried to attach videos but the file type isn't allowed, so here's some photos for reference. These photos are just trying to prove my point without the use of a video. As you can see from the pictures, I'm not touching the rotor with the stick, it spinning the opposite direction from which I just spun it. It may also be good ton know that in these pictures it's spinning clockwise, after I've just spun it some degrees counter-clockwise. That's why I feel that it's "undoing" any sort of input from gravity or whatever. In other words, I don't know if the automatic works is even functioning. Should it be doing this? How do I fix it if it shouldn't be? Anything helps. Thank you.

Hi May be someone can help me on this. I've serviced an eternamatic 1000 movement 1489K automatic. The watch work perfectly when there is no automatic weight attached like in picture 1 But when I tight the screw of the weight on his axe (in red on the picture) the balance stop very like something was preventing the movement to run run freely the balance re-start normally when I unscrew this screw How is it possible there should be no interaction between the automatic bridge and the train of wheel ?!? I post some photo of the movement Thanks
