RPD - Rotations Per Day

[Rolex50]

Does anyone know how many rotations or turns per day keeps a Sub fully wound?

Thanks.

40 to 50 winds from a dead start will fully wind it. If you wear it everyday you never need to wind it but if you feel you want to keep it fully wound 20 should do it.

Winder setting is 650 TPD in both directions.

Is that 650 TPD in each direction (650 TPD clockwise and 650 TPD anti clockwise anti-clockwise)? Or, your winder makes 325 TPD clockwise and 325 TPD anti-clockwise?

Perhaps depends on the winder used. I have heard some winders will just double the TPD if both directions are used.

Most winders double the TPD if you wind bi-directionally.

So, the proper setting in most cases would be 300 or 350 and be sure that it winds in both directions.

650 turns in 24 hours will keep a Sub at a static state of wind. If it isn't fully wound when you put it on the winder, it won't wind it up further.

Rolex can be wound in either direction, it doesn't matter what you set the winder direction to.

thought this was a question for those that switch their watches throughout the day

This is where I get confused too. Specifically for Wolf, they say bidirectional will double the TPD setting. But looking here, it still says to set it to 650. You would think they would say setting it for bidirectional and 350 but they did not.

I totally agree...it's unnecessarily confusing. However, I know they had it documented somewhere:

Also, I've been on a virtual forum where Wolf participated and this specific question was asked, and they validated that TPD is doubled if you choose the bi-directional setting.

So did they say that you should then half the TPD number listed on the database? I mean 600 - 700 seems to be about the standard and it would make sense. I wish they would just state the setting clearly.

Yes, halve the listing in the database.

A Wolf winder will frequently double the number of tpd when the winder is set to bi-directional.

Generally, when it is stated that a Rolex is bi-directional and needs 650 TPD, it is not a winder setting, it just means that the Rolex will wind in either direction.

With a decent winder such as Swiss Kubik 650 TPD is exactly that regardless of direction. So in the case of 650 TPD it is 325 in each direction.
