DanG wroteI also have 3 automatic watches that I rotate and wear on a regular basis and a Wolf double watch winder.I have a regular rotation of three watches. Two of them sit in winders. A forth watch that I rarely wear is sitting in its factory box. The winders are because I am lazy and all three watches are always on the current time when I grap one.
It doesn’t hurt the watch to let it run down and sit for months. Some say it does hurt more harm to have them on winders. I find both ways work about the same until the watch need service.
ZTK_M240i wroteSounds like a wise decision as the better watch winders are expensive. Aside from storing all of my watches in one place as my Wolf has several storage compartments on the top of the box is that the two winders below are behind a glass door so I can display some of my watches.Thanks everyone for the input.
It seems like the best bet is to just let them run down and sit as is.
So no watch winders for me.
SDRider wroteThat is an excellent point about setting the date, thanks for reminding people about it!I just let mine run out. It takes less than 30 seconds to wind and set the time and date. Some automatics you don’t want to set the date if it has stopped past the 6 o’clock hour marker but I only have one automatic like that. The others you can set the date no matter what time it stopped running.
