: Even though you can, I would not manually wind
: an automatic watch. At issue is wear and tear
: on some internal parts.
He wasn't talking about an automatic. The Speedmaster Professional is a manual-wind ONLY watch.
But I do not see the amount of manual winding a person could possibly do would ever create a sufficient amount of 'wear and tear' to be of concern. I see a lot of this kind of severe overthinking of theoretically possible problems. Wristwatches have been manually wound for over 100 years and if that was a problem, the designs would have evolved so that it wasn't. When you have the balance wheel moving 691,200 times a day with minimal wear, do you really think 20-40 turns of the crown a day is going to be a wear issue?
