Watch Winder Settings ABC or D?

[AGENT4734]

I received a very nice watch winder from my mother in law for Christmas. I am wondering which is the best setting to use. Currently I have my Expy II, SMP, SMP PO, and Rado spinning.

First off, should I wind the watches Clockwise, Counter or Both?

Second should I use setting:
(A) Auto rotate 33 seconds, rest 12 minutes
(B) Auto rotate 10 minutes, rest 90 minutes
(C) Auto rotate 30 minutes, rest 3 hours
(D) Auot rotate 1 hour, rest 3 hours

Thanks!

I would choose setting D, and both CW and CCW.

What brand is the winder, please?

The brand on the box is "Belocia". It holds 4 watches on the winder and 5 in the drawer.

Can you set the two winders independently?

You may also want to check the Orbita website to see how the watches wind and how many turns are required. It won't directly link to yours but it would get you an idea on which ones to pair and how many turns etc as a start.

I would choose "C". That would give you 4 hours of winding within a 24 hour period..

Fully wind your watch and set it for both CCW and CW (bi directional)

If any of the watches stop over the next month, I would go up to "D". This setting will give you twice as much winding (8 hrs per 24).

However, if all the watches are all running fine after that month, I might go down to "B" for 2 hours and 40 minutes per 24.

What you want is the minimal amount of time on the winder to keep everything wound,
