A watch that runs fine other than on the winder...if you feel that warrants a return, then that’s up to you.

If the sales agreement allows you to return the watch within a certain period of time than you have to decide what to do. But I don't think they would accept a return because of a 'it doesn't wind well on a winder but works fine on the wrist' claim. If the watch works as intended on your wrist than there is nothing wrong with it.
Understood. Thanks for your reply.

Excess amplitude is most likely to happen at full wind, so when the winder is winding it all the time, this is when it will happen...

What should I do when the watch is rebanking?

It seems to me that my Spectre is being in the same situation, after I forgot turning off the winder and let it run for 1.5 days.

I would get a winder that you can adjust to the proper turns per day...

Sorry to not be clear, I mean what should I do for the watch, to make it out of current rebanking state?

For the winder, leaving it running just some hours per day is working for me.

I wouldn’t complain, too much…….an extra 4 minutes a day would be useful for someone for whom 24 hours a days isn’t enough!
