kasigi Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 I just bought a watch winder with three modes. Automatic Long Run Automatic Continuous The last one is obvious, what's the difference between the first two? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep mine at long run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJFlash Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 My recommendation is to set the winder at the revolutions per day most correct for the movement. For example my 2836-2 movements should be wound 650 rpd in either direction. I pick the setting at, or slightly more than 650 rpd, doesn't matter what direction for them. Pick less and the movement will not stay wound, pick more and it needlessly over winds the movement adding wear. If your winder does not give you specifications, then count the turns and calculate the total daily revolutions. This is just how I do it and works well for me.
