I have the Jins&Vico winder (amazon) with carbon fiber exterior finish in the safe.
So its what I'm wearing on my wrist, the rest locked up.

I have found that both my ND sub and Pelagos keep amazing time on the winder. between +- .2 of a second a day for months at a time.
Several of my cheaper eta powered watches are almost as good.

Multihead winder. Safe, on display and properly wound.

Did you mean multihead winder in the safe?

Else, not really safe. It’s how the burglar got 4 Rolexes from my home before I wised up and got a big safe.

I usually fall asleep wearing my watch, but I do take it off at night if I remember to. I need to buy one of those winders now that I have two watches.

Mine usually spends the night on my desk or on my nightstand and occasionally on my wrist.

There's not real set pattern, but I do try to leave where it can be easily found the next morning.

Stowed away out of plain view and not in likely places to be robbed. Not a big fan of multiple watches on a winder. Two for the price of one, if they are stolen. Why make it easy.

Why does anybody need a winder for a simple time/date watch with a quick set? Seems like your just wearing out the movement for no real purpose. Perpetual and Annual calendars should be on winders as setting those movements too often is hard on the movement and correctors which have tiny springs. Also the PC module has so many small parts which can dry out. But a simple Rolex, no need for a winder. Just set it and go.

It’s easier to store one or two Rolexes in a winder, turned off 95% of the time IMHO. I like the look of the glass and wood versus the Rolex boxes.

Someone should design a Rolex Bed that can easily be put in a safe.

I just can’t put my Rolexes on a table.

Is there wear and tear from frequently unscrewing the crown, winding and pulling out the crown to set the time and date?
I’ve read a few threads here regarding winders. Some are amusing including the frequent allusion to God given winders, your wrist ;)
Most common reason I concluded is the convenience of the watch ready to go in the morning.
Do what floats your boat.

The winding crown is replaced as part of a regular full service. No worries.
