winding 5827

Just got 5827 in RG on rubber strap about a week ago. It is beautiful and I believe is the best in its price category across all brands. Pics to follow.

I have a question about winding.

For now I am planning to use it on the weekends, so if I use automatic winding say on Saturday, it doesnt have enough 'power' to carry it thru Sunday afternoon. It usually stops Sunday morning. And I have to re-adjust time again. So the only option I have now is a mechanical winding on Saturday which is enough for the whole weekend and which is perfectly fine-but then I have to repeat this process every Saturday. Is it ok to do that weekly?

I know some people use rotator box but according to breguet.watchprosite.com Brequet doesnt seems to recommend to do that very often.

Please let me know.

Thank you,

Andrew

Is 7hrs of automatic rewinding sufficient enough to run 5827 for 40-48hrs

Speaking of automatic rewinding: I would put them on Saturday night at 6pm and use, say, till 1am. So is 7hrs of automatic rewinding sufficient enough to run 5827 for 40-48hrs....

Give 20 / 30 turns to the wxrown, and then wear it one day... Then check the power reserve. You can't expect to get enough power reserve just shacking your watch and putting it on your wrist. Always give some 20 turns to the crown, then wear it. Best, Nic...

Give 20 turns to the crown. Wear your watch all the day. Then store it, let's say at 10 PM. Then, check the day after if it still works. When it stops, you'll know how long the power reserve is. Best, Nicolas

look like right, but

Thanks, I thought there is smth I didnt know. But unscrewing crown, winding watch and putting crown back-will it make the crown mechanism some kind of loose- in other words repeating the 'procedure' every 2 days will it make some harm to internal watch me...

No need to screw / unscrew the crown once you know the

Power Reserve of your watch. You can let your watch for a night or a day, and wear it before the power reserve ends. Best, Nicolas

how about winding every 2 days?

I know it's a bit of a pain, but it's perhaps the simplest way to keep it working even though you don't wear it all week? Good luck and enjoy your new watch!
