Watch Winder Question

Guys,

Just got a New Sub Ceramic no date and was wondering......

What direction should this turn on a winder? I love my new baby and thank you for the help.

Bi-Directional. 650 turns per day.

Depending on the model of your winder, putting it in bi-directional mode may double the turns per day setting.

That is the last watch I'd put on a winder.

No complications whatsoever. Not even a date!

Just take a nanosecond, set the time and 40 turns....and go.

Wonder if the OP posted this to bait the anti-winder crowd?

I agree. Really no need to have that watch on a winder at all.
Just saying.

You can turn it in either direction or both directions.. All modern Rolex watches are bi-directional winding (the Zenith Daytona is not)..

That is what the famous purple gears do on the movement, they are reversing wheels that engage the winding gears depending on which way the weight is swinging..
