I really don’t care about winding my manual winds, I have given up on accuracy on them. I just wear manual winds usually without winding them, Andy Warhol style. Always worst case you get it serviced....

Although I don’t think the deposit room at my bank is cold. Not sure about dry. I have the watches in a Pelicancase inside the deposit box. Best Andreas

There are no safe deposit boxes where I live and in any case none of my watches are not valuable enough to justify the inconvenience, especially as I like to wear them all on a whim. I have been researching a home safe, although a determined thief would l...
A brands response

It would be interesting to find out what the actual brands said about such a storage scenario. Surely they’d have an answer depending on the climatic conditions of where those watches were being stored?
