Winder question

[anirudh.412]

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Just got myself a Scatola Del Tempo 7RT winder. Patek Philippe recommends 800 TPD CCW for both the 3940 and 5711, however since just one of the 3 rotors turn CCW and the remaining 2 CW, I was wondering if it would be any cause for concern if I were to put on of the watches on a CW rotor?

Appreciate the help

Well they are uni-directional winding so they won’t wind CW. Surely the unit reverses direction every winding cycle and therefore will wind all 3 units in both directions - my Scatola certainly reverses every cycle. Many experts suggest uni-directional watches are wound both ways to simulate wrist wear.

One of those facepalm moments! Of course they reverse direction. Guess I ought to go sleep. Thanks Russell
