Re: What?

In Response To: Re: What? ()

That may be true, but this wasn't about that. I was trying to understand why he thought stopping the watch could be useful in keeping more accurate time.

: Hi, I would like to comment on this matter.
: Since I do take apart mechanicals, i would
: like to say is if you do not wear the watch
: everyday then just let it wind down. I was
: told by a watchmaker of 25 years is that if
: you keep winding an automatic by hand all
: the time you will prematurely wear the
: winding mechanism. So either wear it or
: leave it until you are ready to wear it.
: Then wind it several times and put it on
: your wrist and forget about it. Enjoy the
: watch.
: Robert!
