| Post subject: | Watch winders Pros and cons | 
| Guys I would like your input on the use of watchwinders. I have a few automatic movements and I wind them all ocasionally and let them run. I was told that this was sufficent to keep them excersized, for lack of a better word. I would like to hear you opionions. I haven't been a member of this fourm for very long but I love to collect watches. I have heard pros and cons on the watch winder issue. What do you think? | |

| If you manually wind them you run the risk of wearing the crown on the very long run. Also its a pain. If you dont wind at all you might have the oils stiffen up. | |

| So would I really need a winder if I only wear my Ling on the weekend?     | |

| I wouldn't see a con in owning a winder. If you own more than two watches, it's tough to keep them wound wearing one every other day. ~Brian | |

|  If you have more than one auto, a winder is just very handy. | |
