I have a number of mechanical watches some of them don't get worn much. Never a problem. I have several Rolexs that over 15 years old or so. I service them when they quit keeping time.

I have several winders bot don't use them. I think they have the potential to damage a movement if it revolves the wrong way or to often.

I came to the same conclusion regarding winders and stopped using them after a year or so. My 8 year old SS Daytona is still running great even though I don't keep it "charged". Due for a full service very soon!

That's ok but with several perpetual calendar chronographs and a Grande Complication, auto winders are a must. Of course need to select winders with timing settings for rotation.

It is my understanding that winders do more harm than good
I'm with Car commander....

Got the call from my dealer with the estimate. It was not nearly as expensive as I thought it would be(I'll keep the cost to myself). It will be 4 to 6 weeks before I get it back

Me too, one of which came with a factory winder. I still don't like winders. I can set a perpetual in a couple of minutes.

The Rolex has returned. I got the call yesterday. I checked the timing after 24 hours and it is +/- 0 seconds What an extreme pleasure it is to have it back on my wrist
