UN freak - newbie questions

Hey Everyone,

I recently bought a pre-owned UN freak 2 that came without box or papers. Can someone educate me what to look out for (I don't know if the watch is fully wounded or if it's possible to over-wind since there seems to be no resistance and I can keep going)? I tried researching online but don't seem to be able to find much resources on this. I managed to get it going and set the time but otherwise am unaware of any "nuances" of this watch. Appreciate everyone's help!

Thanks,

Ewee

Custom straps are possible but not easy to find as the original strap has a very special configuration. Welcome here, once again, and thank you so much for this introduction, which is very much appreciated, here.
