Guys, I have just recieved my first watch winder. How should it be set for Breitling watches. Clock wise, counter clock wise or combo? Thanks for your help on this elementary question. |

Depends on which watch. Go here: http://www.breitlingsource.com/breitlin ... ries.shtml and select the model and it tells you which watchwinder direction you need. Say thanks to Admin for that. |

I just bought a cheap winder (£40) on eBay. To my suprise it's very quiet & works fantastic. It's set to wind 5 min clockwise rest 15min then wind 5min anti clockwise. I used to loose 1 min/day when just wearing the watch. It's been in the winder 3 days & hasn't lost more then 3 secs

It's been in the winder 3 days & hasn't lost more then 3 secs It's funny but some watches seem to do far better in winders than others. I had a <say it quietly> Tag Aquagraph  a few years ago and it gained about 10 seconds a day on the wrist, but no more than a couple a day in the winder. I guess in that particular case it was telling me that I shouldn't wear the thing anymore!

I put my SOH in the winder. I will check out the accurcy as it spends some time in the winder. I guess it makes sense that an active watch would keep better time. |
