Rolex and Watch winder owners! Lend me you ears!
Hi yall , I just bought a automatic watch winder and I wanted to know what settings ( tpd) I should have for my Sub w/date F series ('05) and Daytona ( 2011)?
Also another quick question does having your watch on a winder really help with the maintenance of the watch by having the watch at least running while not in use? What about the Crown's threading ?I mean I imagine not having to un-screw the crown each time you have left it alone for 3 days is going to help out a lot. Thanks in advance. P.s Btw( I currently have both at 650 tpd *the minimum* on both watches.) Sorry for The Grammers, submitted via Blackberry. |

I use 650 on everything but thee Daytona. On my Daytona I used 850 not sure if that is correct or not but never had any issues
As for the maintenance, I would not worry about it either way. Wear your watches, let them sit, place them on a winder I would still service them about every 7years. This is of course just my opinion and works for me

I too was concerned about proper settings snd excessive wear when using a winder. So when my new DJ arrived in August, I went with an Orbita Rotorwind.
It comes close to natural wrist action and is absolutely quiet. Fr. John† |

The Kubik watch winders are quite quiet. I own 2 Rolex ones and they are nice.
I also own a 8-watch rotating Kadloo Basel watch winder, which is OK, though you can ear the rotating sounds when complete silence in the room. |

What are your thoughts on the Underwood Watch Winders? Specifically the UN800 or 810 models?
