Friday night. For anyone that won’t buy a mechanical watch because of the pain of winding after sitting for a while, I just purchased a winder for my 5170 . Works like a charm . Amazing. Put it away, for a week or a month, watch is wound, and set.
5270?! :-)
So those mechanical winders do work huh?! 
Glad to know that they do but I personally believe one of the greatest joys of owning a watch is personally winding it daily which I do to my small collection. Saying that, it is totally understandable that you would want your perpetual calendar chronograph to be wound daily even when you are away and cannot bring the watch with you.

An impressive and classy grand complication, congrats on seizing this beautiful 5270!😉
The pain of winding? For me always is a great pleasure to wind a manual watch and to wind your watch, is like Christmas! Best [nt]

WTF
A few points:
1. The pic is a 5270 not a 5170
2. The 5270 is manually wound and does not work on a normal winder
3. The 5170 is manually wound and does not work on a normal winder
Is there is such a thing as a winder for manually wound movements?? I would regard such a thing as an abomination 😂
Yes there is a winder for manual winding watches
It is quite a high tech clever device and costs quite a lot. .

If you scroll up this post
you will notice that I wind all my watches daily. However, I can appreciate Mike's predicament should he be away from home and prefers not to take his 5270G with him. The watch is a manual perpetual calendar chronograph! A manual perpetual calendar has the disadvantage of having to be wound every two days at least unlike the majority of perpetual calendars that are automatic and can be left on a winder. I am most curious how many owners of manual perpetual chronographs like the 3970,5970 and 5270 wind their watches daily or every two days to keep the perpetual calendar and moonphase accurate.

Apologies all. My bad, how dare me, it is indeed a 5270
Although I had a 5170 before.
I have a few automatic Patek’s as well as FP Journe watches, on a winder, very convenient. the 5270 comes out of the safe on special occasions only,
And it may be a while between winding.
The winder pictured is the winder I purchased, and works very well.
I would suggest it to anyone that wears an automatic daily, but, saves they’re grail as I do for special occasions.

Just a slight clarification Mike
The above winder pictured is for manual winding watches only and therefore anyone with an automatic watch should get a normal watch winder instead of this one which is only for manual winding watches. Well done anyway for investing in this exquisite winder which I have examined closely but have not been brave enough to purchase as I still prefer winding my watches myself and besides,I do not own a manual perpetual calendar!
