While discussing Rolex watches with an Ad manager, he asked if I would my watch.
Evidently, once or twice a month, one should wind their watch "about 20 times or so".

It resets the spring?
Helps the watch run at the timing with which it was regulated to run?
Would it make a slow watch run faster or the other way around?

IMO it would make a slow watch run slower.

You will do no harm whatsoever to give any Rolex auto a full wind say once a week just to keep power reserve topped up.Normally when a automatic watches power reserve is very low they tend to speed up a little bit.With regulation its normally the position the watch is in, gravity has a lot to do with regulation of watches.Thats why they are timed in 5 positions, lay watch flat dial up will tend to gain.Watch vertical crown up may loose
a few seconds vertical crown up may loose a few seconds more.
