Bumpers watches are a part of Automatic history. The Bumper watch uses a rack system to wind and therefore can only go so far the system it self is very reliable the only problem is the weight takes a bit of a hammering. The new type Automatic has satellite clicks inside a wheel. The down full of this is the reversers can become sticky and the watch not wind correctly

Both need to be service but one is no better then the other
