Winding box-yes or no?
As the title says, what do you think?
And why? |

No. Unless you have a perpetual calendar.

If you use a winder you would probably set the correct time when you wear it so why not just let it run down and kick it into life at the same time with a few turns.
No need for a full wind, your wrist will do that.

I have a Heiden quad winder that sits in the closet unused and has been unused for months, after speaking with the fine gents here i figure why cause stress on watches when not wearing and none of my watches have complications so they are easy to set and wind.

Part of the fun of these watches is winding, and setting the time and interfacing with your watch. No to a winder.

Have a 12 watch Wolf and only have two turned on, my SD43 and DeepSea, because I rotate them often but not often enough to keep wound. Personal preference but keeping pieces on winders full time definitely accelerates wear. Just a fact.

I would say no to a winder. I rotate between a few watches, but have been also rotating in an Apple Watch 4. I just feeling like I get enjoyment out of setting the time and giving the crown a couple spins and watching my watch come back to life.

You’ll do more damage continually unscrewing the crown to wind it so I’d use a winder

Not true what about the thousands of manual wind watches with screw down crowns Rolex included, they got wound up daily for many many years without problems.And crowns and crown tubes are just serviceable items, that are often replaced at service, crown tubes are always replaced.

I’ve never sent a watch for repair because I wore it out, I did send one in because the crown stripped out. That’s not anecdotal evidence. If someone kept their watches on a winder and wore them all out I’d like to hear the story. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Like mine. Like watching them spin. My wife thinks I'm crazy.
Good deal! PS. Except for Speedy - he's a hand winder only! |

Mine is more of a display case, but I do keep my Cellini moonphase winding.

I have but use them infrequently. I mostly enjoy giving my watches a manual wind to start. (except setting date on 4-digit pieces with non-quick date setting: takes forever!!!!)

I rotate watches so I use winders. Besides, the moon phase is a pain to set. The ones that I wear are all on winders.
