it's a pain but it's worth it..
I don't wear my 3940 every day and I know it's a pain to reset the date/time correctly, and I don't usually do other than giving it a few winds to start the watch running on the time of the day. The only time I set all of them right is during this month of the year 
On the contrary, doing these chores on my Moser Perpetual 1 is a breeeze, on my Patek, well, lets say when I gets much older, I probably have more time doing these stuff Patek is my only automatic watch, even so, I don't put it on the winder for the same reason others have said here.

Do you have an Orbita winder?
These winders come with a foam style which is squeezable so you can pinch it and slide your closed deployant around it. Also be sure to ask Orbita for their lock down holder. It has an Allen screw so you lock it down and there is no chance of spin off. Th...
Foam holder
I have an Orbita with the foam piece which contracts or expands to hold most watches. I would be suprised if this doesn't work. can't you also use a different hole in the strap for the winder?
Thanks but...
... my plan was to use the PP winder ! I assume it should be able to handle a PP watch it is given with . Best regards.
