Best automatic watch winder for rolex3/23/2023 ![]() ![]() Maybe the automatic watch winder is being in a stopped mode.) Repeat.(Kindly Reminder:If you find that the watch winder is not rotating,please wait 6 min patiently to see if it will restart. Easy to use: When power on, the winder will be running automatically as default rotation mode: clockwise for 2min,rest for 6min,then counter-clockwise for 2min,rest for 6min.Quiet&Antimagnetic:Efaithtek watch winder is designed for automatic watches,which is powered with Japanese super quiet and antimagnetic motor.Please make sure that the battery had been removed before switching to AC power,or make sure that the AC adapter had been unpluged before inserting AA battery. Special Attention:The winder can be powered by either AC power or AA battery,but can not be used simultaneously with AC power and batter power.Dual Power Supply: Can be powered by 100-240V AC Adapter (ready in the kit) or DC 2*1.5V AA battery (not enclosed in the kit).Make sure the winder you get can adjust CW/CCW in case your watch is uni/bi-directional. ![]() I have an Amazon winder purchased for $60'ish where my Perpetual Calendar is currently parked. Most winders can be adjusted for XX rotations per hour, if CW, CCW or a mix. As long as parts are lubricated, nothing will get worn or damaged. ![]() Once timekeeping starts being an issue, you give it a service and off you go another decade.Īll moving parts are covered in synthetic oils that don't try up and are typically good for 8-10 years. I would argue that wearing a watch on the wrist is far more hurtful in terms of all the bumps, vibrations and knocks it will receive. A watch slowly and carefully being rotated on a winder is not going to damage anything more than if it was on your wrist. Not just a few times per month, but every hour of the day, every day of the week, throughout every year and every decade. While there is no significant evidence that a good watch winder will either save or harm your watch.Over the many years of dealing with RSC Bexly and talking to the various watchmakers there, who did not recommend watch-winders for any of the Rolex line up.Its quite funny now that Rolex brought out a Rolex branded winder but made by a third party,its simple today many watch winders = big £££$$$€€ and huge profits.IMHO many watch-winders today have a high quality finish on the outside (to justify the extremely high price),but hiding some very cheaply mass-produced insides.ĭon't worry, watches are built for being used. So its not a problem to just rest a watch for a month or longer then just wind reset and go, must take all of 30 seconds to do.īut if stored for longer than a month I would recommend to just give them a small wind to keep the tiny amount of oil around the movement.Think of it this way if you had a choice of two watches one thats been on a winder for a few years.Or a watch that was new old stock unused unworn which one would you choose. IMHO a badly designed winder could in theory damage a watch and cause wear from excessive and repetitive movement on the same plane and axis to the escapement wheel pinions.And today because the oils used in most modern watches including Rolex, and when properly serviced are not very prone to clotting or coagulating like the old mineral oils. Now most people move in a huge diversity of manners, causing a fairly even distribution of motion of the watches winding mechanism and escapement positions.Now because a watch winder is normally limited to a very small number of directions and types of movement normally just back and throe. Well the best winders are wrist thats for sure,IMHO automatic watches are designed to be worn by people only, and not on a expensive box machine winder, and while on a machine its in the same position for hours,days or even weeks,months. I have two Rolex models and I can’t rely on myself to wear them enough to keep them both wound.Īdmittedly, I don’t really want to spend a lot of money on one, but I’m happy to if a more expensive one takes better ‘care’ of my watches. ![]() That being said, I think I could use one. I’ve done a little research on these devices and I’ve encountered mixed opinions on them - some claiming they’re perfectly fine, and others saying they damage watches. ![]()
