I was at an AD the other day and the sales associate took out a watch to show a customer and proceeded to wind it. She unlocked the crown and spun the sucker as fast as possible. I was thinking to myself that can't be the best for the spring but in truth, I didn't know the answer?

I tend to err on the side of conservative winding. Not too fast, not too slow and I only wind about 40-50 turns. I know many newer watches have safety features built in so you can't over wind the spring but out of old habit, I still stop.

So any opinions as to what is the proper means/methods to wind a Rolex?

Does anyone think the sales clerk was damaging the watch by winding it at such as pace?
