In Response To: Possible but not necessary. ()

Thanks Scratchmaster! Very informative. What exactly is a winder and where do you get them? Is it really something I should concider purchasing?
: Hi Timothy,

: Your guess is correct. It can be manually wound. But why do
: so? If you are wearing the watch on a regular basis or
: leave it on a winder, there's no need to wind it manually.
: Besides, it is said that winding automatic watch manually
: is not good for some parts of the mechanics. As you can
: see, I am no expert here. And what I am offering you is a
: suggestion from a newbie.

: You may wind it manually when you want to start it from a dead
: stop to ensure that it will go on smoothly and properly in
: the initial period.

: Mine is 6031.... manufactured in Jan 99.

: By the way, congratulations!
