nandika Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 (edited) Hi! I'm soon going to have 5 reps, movements: 2xAsia 7750, 3xSwiss 2836. Currently I only have one (1x2836), and that's stored in a winder. When I receive the others, should I buy another winder and store the watches in that? I'm wearing the watches often, and I'm going to like wear each for 1 day on a week. Is it better to store them in a winder or no? I had a 7750 asia once, which was stored in a winder, and started losing time, it lost like 15 mins each hour... Maybe it wasn't because of the winder, but I just want to make sure, I don't mess up anything with these watches. Thanks for your responses:) Also, my winder has 4 setups in timing, and 3 rotation methods (left, right, random), how to wind, what winding method you recommend?

Jkay Posted October 11, 2009 Report Share Posted October 11, 2009 A watch winder will not make the oil in the watch last longer, or make it go away sooner. A winder in merely for convenience. As for rotation methods, certain movements only wind one direction! (7750??) Most wind in both directions. 800+ rotations per day are normally required to maintain a full wind. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nandika Posted October 12, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 while searching this forum for winder info I found a link to replicawatch info forum, where there is a manual how to wind the watches... I cannot signup to that forum:( It's not sending the activation email to any of my email addresses. Anyone has the info and can paste it here to rwg?

chronoluvvv Posted October 13, 2009 Report Share Posted October 13, 2009 i remember reading on here that winding causes excessive wear & tear to these movements so i prefer to twirl my watches face down in my palm to get them started.

Jkay Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 The safest way to "wind" your watch if it has stopped is to wind by the stem only a few turns, to get the spring charged a little, and then wear it so that the rotor winds the rest of the way.
