Question:I can't get my winder to keep my watches
wound. What should I do and can I return it?
I have a Rolex Daytona, IWC and an AP [Audemars Piguet].
Answer:Jason,
Thank you for the call, as per our conversation, I believe you had your
winder on the wrong setting for your watches: Watch Winders are pretty simple.
If they are on the right setting they will wind your watch, it is as simple as
gravity. (Rather quality watch winders are simple put it on set it and forget it, but cheap fake watch winders often times do not work to wind watches since they the manufacturers do not understand angles of rotation and inertia and other important issues about making a watch winder... Many winders are made by Jewelry Box manufacturers in China, but a watch winder is more than just a
jewelry box it is a
precision piece of machinery.)
The Rolex Daytona requires Clockwise CW winding at 800 TPD at least and
the IWC and AP requires the same, or at least the majority of movements
from those companies are either bidirectional or clockwise wound.
(All bets are off if you own a reproduction aka fake, since the movement
would be unknowable, but trial and error should get the watches on the
correct setting. It is simple physics if on the right setting the winder will wind it.)
Since you tried Bidirectional the obvious choice is try CW and then CCW,
but since the winder is moving the watches, it is not the winder that is at fault.
Have your watches had the periodic maintenance as suggested by the
manufacturer?
I am confident that changing the directional setting will solve your problem.
