    u got the point too..but

    An automatic watch can't be over wound as they have a clutch to allow the rotor to free wheel once the watch is fully wound.

    A better winder (usually means more expensive I guess) tends to allow you to control the TPD. I've found that my Rolex are happy at ~600-650 TPD on my Orbita.

    Lower than this, and they risk the possibility of loosing power reserve over a longer duration.

    Comparing this to the some winders, it did something like 1000TPD+ which was well excessive, but that winder cost about 1/4th the price of my Orbita.

    So, I would think that having a watch on a winder - set to the point where it will keep its 'reserve' up just above the threshold, wouldn't wear it more than wearing the watch 24/7 on your wrist. However, an unnecessarily high TPD will do this to your watch.

    just my opinon.

    I have a different opinion on the TPD rating. IMO, unless the TPD rating is way off, i really thing there's no real cause for an alarm. Whats TPD rating? Its the number of turns to fully wind up the watch. My Qs is: Where is this RELATIVE from? This rating is assuming a watch is fully unwind?? If so, short of some ridiculous short TPD, wouldnt u be ALWAYS overwinding your watch when u place it on the winder? Do u always ensure that your watch is fully unwind before placing it on the winder?? Do u want to go through all this hassle each time u need to put the watch on the winder? Just some things u might like to consider...

    Well i came across this.. i don't like the tpd...too high for Rolex.. i think rolex watch needs only 650 tpd.. to fully wind up.. Anyway the price will tell the quality of the winder..for a watch of few thousands.. or ten of thousands.. imho i rather spend a little bit more on a well-know winder... just my opinion.. no offence if u happen to use this winder.

    Got to see if there is one knob or two knobs. the 2 knobs version has a delay function which will trigger the winding after 12 hrs of delay... ie after wearing your watch, place it in the winder.. 12 hrs later then it will start the winding process.

    Tpd at 600, just nice for Rolex. Cw, ccw and bi.
    option for starting at 12 hrs delay. Thats why u see 2 knobs. Version 2 or module 2.

    Btw, if u guys are interested, do pm me and i try to check if my friend in States has anymore of this deal.
