I got tired of setting watches in my collection since I rarely wear the same watch two days in a row. If someone asks for time I look at my phone anyway. So I treat my vintage watches as bracelets. If someone points to the watch showing the wrong time ( which has never happened) I’ll say it’s set to a different time zone. Am I the only one who does this? I also want to protect the skin on my fingers, some watches require force to wind them daily.
Unless a watch has a reason for being dead at a certain time, I would definitely wind my watches. If one stops working I’ll grab another and try and fix it myself, service it, or sell it for parts.
