PP watch winder full size-is this good for the movement or not? What is your take?
Sep 04, 2021,17:40 PM
When picking up the 5320g, we chose the full size winder that is still available from the AD over the more practical cylinder type PP winder which was also an option. We were told the full size one has been discontinued. Not sure if they are discontinuing or maybe preparing for an upgrade.
Of course you need sufficient room in the safe at is has exactly the same size as the new gen standard PP high polished mahogany watch-boxes. The ever returning question is of course if it’s good for the movement to be on a winder or not. What is your take on this?
After having set the month, day, date moon phase and leap year in the right order I certainly found it to be practical. Also a bit poetic to have this eternity machine running constantly and always right.
Beautifully finished of course
Option to size down-which I did for this one. The wrapped one is for smaller wrists
Option to go clock wise and CCW for unidirectional winders. Was a bit difficult to figure out which way. The manual would only tell me that the watch had a unidirectional winder. After a weeks testing I am sure that this baby, the 324 S Q, is CCW. Meaning that the winder needs to run CCW when you look at the dial

Exactly packed like a PP Standard mahogany watchbox and cloth.
Also comes with a separate utility box with power connection and different size of bases. You will need a power connection in the safe then.Not sure how many have that. Better install the 2 AA batteries. They last for 6 months.

I confess, i put a part of my collection on a winder. Why? I dislike to adjust the time over and over. So, i do not pull out a crown, i put a watch on my winder. Secure. I check if the watch have enough grip in the winder. Next. When i wear a watch, the r...

Sorry for the delay in showing pics of the watch winder BTW-one thing it lacks is variable speed/number of cycles pr. 24 hours-which I think most winders have-It's probably just sticking to a Patek standard-4 round pr. minute and 840 revolutions pr. 24 ho...
Thanks man super useful table. And info.

So the new cylinder has an app connecting to it. That is very cool. Meaning you can probably also monitor the battery levels. The big and beautiful looking watch winder doesn’t have any of that. Can you imagine when the batteries are running out and it st...
Anytime!

Yes the new PP winder app allows you to monitor the battery level via the app and multiple winders at the same time too. Its also got 4 AA batteries, so it should last longer and has a useful function wherein only if you put it horizontal does the winder ...
