bvc Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Hi Guys, Is it better to keep my unworn watches with the crown pulled out to keep power reserve up. So i just adjust the date and time when i wear a new one and its ready to go. (i currently do this) or should i let it rund down? and power it up when i wear it. I ask cause i went to an a/d today to try on my next purchases, big pilot and the v3 dssd asked about storage. (gave it large and said i have serveral watches and i pull out the crown to keep the reserve up)(and no i didnt wear a rep when i went in )and he went nuts. should never leave the crown open as you can damage the movement!! dust/dirt and flies!!! honest he said fly's. wtf!! so anyway any advice? peace and love, peace and love....

Shundi Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 I mean....considering you have to set the date/time either way is there really that much harm in giving it a few gentle shakes or 5-10 slow turns when you let it run down? I guess if you dropped it and pegged the stem or something you could damage that and I suppose in practice it's a good idea to keep a crown screwed in for the reasons the AD mentioned but I'll wait for an expert to comment based on their experience...

I see what your sayin, thanks for your comments, I just found that a few swirls sometimes does not charge the watch enough from flat. Or I get it going and an hour later it has stopped. ps I fell in love with your 6.75. Wish I had the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
