Watch winder

Post by ronk » Tue Jan 29, 2019 9:50 pm

Are they worth using?
It has been suggested that my watch would keep better time if on a winder overnight to keep my watch fully wound.
If I buy one, is a £50 Amazon job any use?

Yes, they are. A cheap one does the trick, that’s all you need. :thumbsup:

I decided against a winder in the end. As with anything mechanical the more miles you put on it the quicker it will need a service.

Moving parts need to be kept moving.

I don’t want to wear the seal in the crown mech unnecessarily so I’d like to avoid twiddling the crown on a daily basis.
