Just got my Daytona... From 'no watch' to '2 Rolex' in 1 week

Hi All,

Thanks to you (good or bad), I am an addict...

I just received my Daytona to wear on more casual occassions and to save wear and tear on the Prez... I even had to get a winder...

Anyone have advice on which program to use for winding these watches (clockwise, counter, both)?

Anyway, here are my poor photography skills.

And yes, one is a few seconds ahead of the other... but I did not even notice the second hands when I was setting the time on the Daytona... so, not too bad, eh?

Congratulations on your two new babies.
My winder is set for both directions and they are always wound when I take them off.

Congratulations! Beautifu pair.
Rolex rotors wind both ways so it does not matter which way your winder turns.

I got the winder from swiss-wrist.com... they state it is several hundred dollars marked down to $275... I paid much less because I am becoming a decent customer, I guess.

I know nothing about winders, but this one seems pretty nice and it has several programs as far as winding direction and duration of on/off.

Funny you should ask...

3 hours after my Daytona was adjusted, I ordered a 36mm DJ with a channel set diamond bezel and MOP/diamond dial for the Misses... converting a 10 year Tag owner... the disease is spreading!

I was thinking about picking up a new Z serial pepsi GMT, but she put the brakes on that.

"But this is the one Magnum P.I. has" didn't even work.
