i have been thinking of getting a winder but am worried it may damage my watch
i read a bit of info (from a winder salesperson) that if you dont get the proper winds per day you can either underwind making the winder useless or overwind putting undue stress on your watch
it said something along the lines of "find out how many winds a day and buy a winder that does that ie: 750 850 950 etc
im thinking of buying a couple of tool watches seiko or casio automatics

so
how many winds a day does a sub date need to keep it going without over doing it?
or is this just a sales strategy?
