Re: Do you use a winder?
Yes. A two watch TimeTutelary winder at <£50 from Amazon.
Currently have five automatic watches; keep four of them (three with day/date and/or screw down crowns) wound on a daily rotation switching a pair each evening.
Keeping a watch on a winder is not different to having it on your wrist every day, from a wear perspective. Plus it reduces the risk of damage to the crown and winder.

Re: Do you use a winder?
I don't have one but need one for just one watch - my Seiko SKX009 which doesn't have a manual wind ability. If I don't wear it every day to keep it well wound with a good power reserve, it becomes pretty inaccurate. Seems a bit strange to buy a winder for what is a relatively inexpensive watch - but I do love my SKX!
Does anyone have the CW Piccolo winder and is it worth the cost over cheaper Amazon winders?

Re: Do you use a winder?
Some good points. I think it'd be worth me getting a two watch winder - and using it in a spare room to avoid noise! I could then use it for rotating my regularly worn automatics. My dress automatics I only wear for best / special occasions so won't need a winder.Bahnstormer_vRS wrote:Yes. A two watch TimeTulay winder at <£50 from Amazon.

Re: Do you use a winder?
I actually used my winder for the first time in ages yesterday because of this thread as it's lovely to look at them whirring away.
I have lights in mine so it's very cool when they start up.

Here's my Time Tutelary 2 watch winder
With full details on Amazon here; Currently @ £52.01 Sorry I lied.
Reasonably quite, but not whisper quiet. OK for the study where I keep mine but I'd avoid having it in the bedroom.
Then for c. £50 it does the job.

Re: Do you use a winder?
I have a cheapo 2-watch winder from Amazon. Has a completely silent Japanese motor, so can be kept at bedside,

Re: Do you use a winder?
I don't bother with a winder and it has never really seemed a problem to have 3 or 4 set and running at any one time over the course of a week.

How often should one use a winder for a watch that doesn't get any wrist time?

I tend to give a quick wind to any watches that I haven't worn for about 4 months, but I don't bother to use a winder.costas wrote:How often should one use a winder for a watch that doesn't get any wrist time?
