Thought's on watchwinders.
Discussion
Ok as the title say's I am thinking of getting a quad watchwinder. Due to the recent addition to my collection, see below:

I do find that every time I go to wear a watch I have to set the time and date and I wonder is this actually harming the watch?
I have heard stories of watchwinders doing more harm than good, so my question is what is best for my watches, a watch winder or setting the time and date manually every three or four days or so.
Also would a watchwinder decrease service intervals.
Thanks in advance.

Sort of relating to watch winder usage, I have just watched a video detailing an overhaul service carried out by breitling (approx £450). It is very intense and they pretty much replace everything that is worn, could wear or may wear in the future in the whole of the watch, cogs, springs, the hands the whole lot. About the only thing's that aren't replaced are the braclet, face and case.
Now I know this is expensive but I think if you budget for one of these every 10-15 years(with an oil service at 5 years) there would be no worries with wear from a winder.
Anyway I hope this is the case as I have just bought a quad winder so we'll have to see.
