Winding Tudor Prince oysterdate

[timholtz]

I inherited a Tudor Prince Oysterdate. I was wondering a couple things. The face says rotor self-winding. So, I was considering buying a watch winding box, but there are several types, they turn clockwise, counter-clockwise, or both. Also there are different revolutions per day. I've searched all over and I can't find the answer, does anyone know what I need?

No need to buy any watch winder for any watch with just a simple date complication.Just give it a manual wind to start it unscrew crown first position then give around 40 full crown turns clockwise to fully wind the watch.Then if worn say for around 10 hours a day should not need winding as it should have enough reserve to last overnight.But a occasional manual wind will do no harm whatsoever you cannot over-wind a automatic watch.Regarding a watchwinder,any one will do as the Tudor and Rolex movements wind both ways.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know that the watch can wind in either direction.

The problem is that I don't plan on wearing this watch very often, that's why I am looking for a winder box. Does anyone know how many rotations per day I should be looking for?

Thanks
