Rolex is one of the famous watch brands in the world. Almost everyone knows the brand of the watch. The brand exudes success, first-class and exquisite craftsmanship. Almost all Rolex watches are equipped with automatic movements made in Switzerland. When the automatic watch stops, you must reset the time, date and / or other functions and manually wind the watch to make it run again. You can do this by wrapping the crown around the watch or gently rocking it back and forth. After that, you can put on the watch again, which gives the watch internal movement energy through your own daily movement.
The automatic movement is very beautiful. It is one of the purest movements in watch technology. But when the Rolex watch stops, you not only need to set the time correctly again, but also make sure that the oil in the movement is not distributed correctly. In the long run, this can cause damage to movement as oil acts as a lubricant between all moving parts.
The solution for fixing Rolex watches is a watch winder. It's a meter winder. The name says everything. It's a meter winder. By gently rotating, the automatic movement inside the watch gains energy, thus keeping the watch running. The watch winder is not only conducive to the durability of the automatic watch, but also a very convenient accessory. Especially if you have multiple automatic watches. Put your watch on the watch winder to keep them neat, excited and running for a long time. In this way, you can immediately wear any watch when you need it, without winding and resetting the watch in terms of time, date or month.
You do not want to stop your Rolex watch, but rather wind it safely and beautifully in a good watch winder. Imagine your beautiful Rolex watches rotating in a beautiful watch winder that offers all the functionalities to optimally wind your watch in style.
Good quality watch winder motors
A good quality watch winder offers strong motors of Japanese, German or Swiss origin. Rolex watches often have a slightly higher weight than a standard automatic watch. A strong durable motor can handle this weight better and will rotate more smoothly and remain of good quality in the long term.
Adjustable direction of rotation
In addition, the watch winder must have the right functionalities to wind your Rolex watch. In other words, the watch must be able to rotate clockwise, counterclockwise and alternately. Sometimes the movement inside the watch is wound clockwise, another movement counter clockwise. If a Rolex watch has to be wound clockwise, it will not get any energy if you set the watch winder counter clockwise. With a watch winder that can rotate clockwise and counter clockwise, you are always good.
Adjustable number of revolutions per day
The next important feature is that you can set the number of revolutions per day (TPD: turns per day). Automatic watches often have a different minimum number of revolutions per day that they need to obtain energy. For example, most Rolex watches require at least 600-650 TPD. If you run the watch winder on 400 or 500 TPD the watch will not receive any energy. The watch will then stop. Almost all good watch winders offer you the choice to set a watch with 600, 900, 1200, 1500 and 1800 TPD. Together with the adjustable direction of rotation (clockwise, counter clockwise and alternating) you have all the options to wind an automatic watch.
How do I set a watch winder for a Rolex?
A Rolex watch typiaclly needs around 650 TPD(turns oer day) in order to remain 100% wound for the day.A standard setting for a watche winder is considered to be around 750 TPD as this is generally what most modern watches require. The fact that this is a little higher than the Rolex need won’t create any detrimental issue,so there’s no real concern here.

If you could not find your watch model (or caliber) in this table, you may determine your ROLEX winding mode on a trial basis. You should select the combined winding mode (CW+CCW) and the minimal number of turns per day (TPD). Then place your watch into the rolex watch winder and check after a few days how accurate your watch shows the time. If it runs behind, it is necessary to increase the number of TPD by one step.
