Watch winder vs premature thread wear on crown

I know there are numerous articles on the benefits/cons of watch winders, and I am generally of the opinion to NOT use one (plus I enjoy setting and winding my watch). I rotate watches daily, so they always end up losing power and stopping before I pick it back up later in the week.

I recently had one of my my watches sized at a Fine Watch Repair shop, and I was told it was better to use a winder so to not wear out the threading on the crown, which is expensive to replace, if I am having to set/wind my watch every 5-7 days. Any opinions on the validity to this? I only own Rolexes and APs at the moment.
