Thanks for the info Larry.

My 14060M is my daily wearer. During the week Monday - Friday I wear it 7.00am - 4.30pm - no winding at all, during this period it gains just less than 1 sec / day. When I take it off on Friday I give it a full wind before putting it away for the weekend. Over the weekend it looses 4 - 5 seconds then the whole cycle starts again.
I set it to timeticker on the 13th of October and today it is 2 seconds slow as we head for the weekend. Winding it up certainly slows it down and I can adjust the gain/loss by winding or not winding.

Can the auto winder wind a Rolex up to the 'clutch slip' point? If not what % of full winding will the auto winder achieve?
