The Breitling Watch Source Forums

Now that I'm acquiring more Auto's, I have been contemplating a multiple watch winder 6 or 8, but I'm not really sure yet. So, I just wind mine up as I rotate my watches as of now. Just wondering what you guys do...the one's that don't have a winder that is!

Well I'm going to reply, even though I use winders, because I also have a lot of manual wind watches.

I tend to just wind them in sequence - I keep many of them running all of the time, but make sure that even watches that only see my wrist once or twice a year get a full wind at least once a month. There have been times when I've thought about getting a manual stem winder as it can get painful after a while, but I've never been able to get on with one. For those who don't know they are similar size to a Bergeon spring bar tool that have 'fingers' that grip the crown and the watch is wound by rotating the body of the winder.

I have some winders, but most automatic watches are not on a winder. I try to rotate them on the wrist, wearing a watch for a few days before returning it to the box and picking up another. I set the time/date and wind the watch fully when I pick it up from the box, then just let it run out of power when it's returned to the box.

I set them in the morning, once I've picked the one I'm going to wear that day. I rotate them daily and they normally run out in the box before I wear them again, although occasionally I'll wear one 2 days in a row. I have a cheap winder but I don't tend to use it.

The ones I don't wear sit in their cozies in the drawer. I just set the time when I wear them and then return them when I am done. I haven't had to wind my Daily CA in almost a year, that just sits on the nightstand.
