I am not against watchwinders for watch that might need them like watches with many many complications. But totally against them with any movement that has just one complication like most Rolex have. A very simple easy to change date complications then IMHO watchwinders are little more than big boys toys and a total waste of money.

I keep 2 on the winder (not on), Daytona stays in its green box and the one Im wearing the next day goes around its green watch holder then sits on a polishing cloth. Hmmmm. At least it sounds like Im not alone.
