Am I missing something here?

I just did a Google search looking for images on Sub winding positions, and got blindsided by this from wikiHow. Amazing how much misinformation is available for free on the internet:

How to Wind a Rolex

4 authors | 5 revisions | Last updated: February 17, 2012

A Rolex is a high quality, luxury wristwatch made by the Rolex company. A Rolex watch is a status symbol, making it the largest single luxury watch brand worldwide. Each modern Rolex watch features a self winding mechanism created with a thin piece of quartz that vibrates as the watch moves and creates an electrical charge to power the watch. As long as the watch is moving, it will have power. This is known as "perpetual movement." However, these "perpetual" watches can stop if they're left motionless for too long. If this happens to your Rolex, follow these steps to wind it.
