Thanks guys
Yah I guess the problem is my winder. Ya cuz it runs well on my wrist and keeps time well.
I checked my previous winder (a much cheaper one in fact), and it allows clockwise or counter clockerwise whereas my wolf counter is bidirectional only.
I may look for a new winder. BUT just wondering as if the problem is my winder, and I have been using it for a few months. Have I damaged my 5164 for good? Or better take it to service now? Have had for 3 years now
My Patek 5164 problem! It would stop!
I have had my PP 5164 for about 3 years. A very annoying problem recently as I now have build up my collection. I generally rotate between 3 watches a week. I would have my 5164 placed on a Wolf winder (900 turns a day). But for some reason, it will stop ...
If the watch runs fine and it has adequate power reserve when worn on the wrist, it will be the winder.
324 SC only winds up counter clockwise. I would not do anything to the watch. Either think about a different type of winder or simply do a manual wind for 5164 everyday by about 5-10 turns.
Thanks guys

Increase the number of turns per day
According to Orbits watch database, your watch needs 800 counter-clockwise turns per day to maintain power reserve. If your winder only allows bi-directional rotation, you should set it at minimum 1600 turns per day and it should work just fine. The clock...
My guess will be the winder.
I have a similar problem back in 2012 on my 5711 that stopped since the winder is set bi-directional. Good thing someone in this forum provided inputs to have the winder set as counterclockwise. It’s been 6 years and never had a problem. Both the 5164 and...
Thanks
Will look for a new winder, any suggestion? My wolf is the basic one, bi directional only and can’t increase the turns! Most importantly, did I damage this watch. Cuz when it stopped, it will run again after about another 30 minutes (I guess when it rotat...
Surely not ,actually on your hand
it happens the same the mass spinning in both directions however it winds only in one.
I have a Bernard Favre watchwinder
and I'm very happy with it. I've never had a problem, it works perfectly and my PP too.
