Today, it's all about the breakdown of modern oils, which is from 5-7 years. A watch on a winder or a watch that rests will need service at the same intervals. Use a winder if you like, it is a convenience to have the time and date set ready to go.

Guess I'm in the minority here but I have two Rolex watches and I keep them on a winder all the time. Now keep in mind I am wearing one or the other every day but I like to have them both running, at the correct time and date, all the time.
I get up and leave for work very early. I want to be able to slap one of them on my wrist and hit the road without having to fool with setting the time. Since my GMT is mainly my weekend watch I would have to be setting it about once every week. With the winder it's ready to go all the time. |

X2. Way to say it brother. It's a convenience. I am 100% in full agreement. And frankly if it leads to a shorter service interval so be it.
