Hi All!

As a result of not having a watchwinder but would like for the 1461/52 to always be wound due to its' complicated nature. In other words it's a pain in the rear to set.

How often would it be ok to manually wind - everyday or every other day - when the watch is not worn?

What would be the correct frequency of winding the watch in order to prevent stopage.

Thank you in advance for your prompt replies.

Best Regards,

Enezdez

why don't you buy a winder? Compared to the price of the watch, they are extremely cheap.

You can wind the watch everyday - 30 turns a day is a safe bet to keep it fully wound. It's an automatic so it can't be overwound.
