The watch winds both ways. You can set it one way for a while, then set it the other way. :)

The best thing would be that it turned both ways like the rotor of the YM. But I guess you can set it to turn CW some of the time, and then change it to CCW the rest of the time. Should be the same thing, really

I agree with what Paulie and Spacedweller have already said. If you plan to leave it on a winder for one day, have it rotate clockwise for 12 hours, and then counterclockwise for the other 12 hours. I read that it is recommended that the watch be wound in both directions.
Enjoy your new winder!! It looks really cool!

I thought Rolex recommended that winders be set to counter clockwise?

And where have you read that, may I ask?? Orbita has in fact written that the Rolex Daytona rotor of the cal. 4130 is a "CW" (= clockwise only turning rotor), but that is Here is the link, btw: http://www.orbita.net/pages/17118.htm
