That reminds me. I don't think I've checked the timekeeping on mine for around 3 weeks

Get the Timegrapher out.
And please don’t forget to let us see the results.
I am particularly interested in DU and 3U. Done for the full length …. Fully wound to stopped.

Sorry no timeographer around these parts
I probably wouldn't be able to work out how to use it anyway.
Besides, I pay professionals to operate their own equipment on my behalf if I perceive there may be a problem.

On reflection, I know the timekeeping of my daily worn 2011 DSSD, that has remained consistent at -3 seconds/day since new with one service under it's belt.
The 2015 D-blue that runs consistently about -2.5 seconds/day since new when ever I feel the desire to wear it very occassionaly.
The 2016 DJ 31 daily wearer that belongs to my wife which runs consistently at +5 seconds/day since new.

We may have old school movements.
But we're appy

Have to agree mate in over 50 years of wearing Rolex watches never felt the need for machine winders, timeographers, or any of today's Rolex owners toys.

Could the reason you dont feel the need for winders be that you dont keep a watch with a perpetual movement and Moonphase running.

I do and if my watch stops because i dont keep it going its a real long pain to reset everything.

My Perpetual calendar watch came with a winder so the manufacturer (Patek Philippe) must know something.

My Annual callendar watch also has a winder box.

For Rolex watches and simple movement watches i agree, Winders are not needed or wanted. part of the enjoyment of a watch is setting the date, time etc.

Agree with watches that have a lot of complications one of the main reasons that Patek gives one free with there Perpetual calendar is to stop their owners buggering them up trying to set them.But with all Rolex watches no need for a machine unless you have lost the use of your fingers, so you cannot manually wind a stopped watch.

I guess its just possible some people will have that sort of problem.

Otherwise NO winder needed for a Rolex unless its your butler.

Agreed. But I normally only reset the time when the date needs to be changed so I compensate for a slow running watch by setting it ahead of time an acceptable amount, though I do prefer them to run a little fast
