Do We Need Watch Winders?

[funnyman7915]

I have had my date just for 30 years . I remember from the original literature ( long since discarded) that at night the Rolex was supposed to lay in a particular position to help the watch movement not lose a beat so to speak. Over time I had found my Rolex kept terrible time until I recently had it properly serviced and I purchased a winder . There are winders and there are some darn good winders .Wolfe winders wind on set rotations so the watch is not over wound .If your winder is continuous then it is probably over winding your watch(s) . The cycle I use is both counter and clock wise with 450 winds per 90 minute cycle then no rotation of 60 minutes .Ergo in say a 7 hr sleep cycle the watch is wound 525 times and sleeps for about 2 hrs or so
