Watch winders are boxes that gently move a watch when it isn’t being worn. If you’re among those who believe that a stagnant movement will harm your Rolex or if you own an older or even vintage Rolex that might use the type of lubricant that is capable of hardening over time, one option is to invest in a watch winder. There are arguments as to if this statement is true or not with many believing that modern lubricants don’t harden and that the only real threat to your timepiece is the natural aging that happens over time. The idea is that the material that keeps the parts lubricated will start to harden and will significantly affect the movement’s ability to maintain a precise reading. While this can be inconvenient in the sense that when you wear your watch again you will have to re-set it, this, according to some collectors, can also be detrimental to the movement if left sitting for an extended period. If you don’t plan on wearing your Rolex regularly, the movement will eventually stop.
The idea is that, if worn regularly, a Rolex that runs on a self-winding movement should never need to be wound. The Rolex self-winding movement, or Perpetual movement, uses the movement of the wearer’s wrist to stay wound and to maintain an accurate reading.
