Winder inquiry for my Rolex Submariner
This probably rates as the proverbial dumb question but when one does not know the answer, well, any informed response can be enlightening! That said, I've had my Rolex Submariner [with date] since 1981. A treasured gift from my folks when I earned my doctorate.
Anyway, I got tired of resetting the Rolex every time I didn't wear it [like the weekends at home] and it stopped from non wearing it continuously and I had to do the old wrist back and forth motion and the Rolex second hand would immediately come back to life and stay that way until I took it off for any protracted period. Here's my question --- Many of the powered watch winders [cord and battery] I see have a rotating mechanism [to the left for a few minutes and then to the right and then the process is repeated and bi-directionally] =but= is this multi-directional turning of the watch sufficient to keep it wound up =versus= a sort of see-saw tipping motion as one would do with their wrist. The winders I see indeed move to the left and right, pause, and then repeat the process but is this good enough where normally the Rolex is tipped in a see-saw motion with the wrist =or= must I get a winder that tips and thus mimics the human wrist movement back and forth [up/down] to keep it running. Thank you. ---- Doc Tony |
