Due to a lack of fingernails which I part blame 27 years of marriage, pulling the crown & winding my AT is not a pleasurable experience like winding my Tudor BB Bronze ... buttery mmmm
Anybody have this problem ?
That aside I love it dearly and the watch

good thing it's an automatic and assuming you wear it, you'd only have to do it every other month to adjust the date

Problem is I don’t wear it every day and so when I’m a hurry, to set time date and wind it’s a bit of a chore that said when on I can’t help but love it’s sparkly little face

Root cause analysis already determined, 1. Grow your fingernails and 2. Watch winder

You can see where I’ve been gauging it out with whatever was at hand

It did actually come with one and yes you make a good point but I keep it in the safe when not wearing it along with a cpl of other more costly items and a lot of guns loads of guns

Well, assuming your safe is big enough, some winders can alternatively use a battery source so it can still be wound inside the safe with all the fun stuff.

That’s a nice MPX you have there. 👍

In the UK, guns are slightly more muted shall we say .223 AR 15 straight pull, semi auto MP5 in .22 308 rifle and a 357 marlin under lever that sort of stuff, and a long barrel pistol that would make Dirty Harry laugh. Never used for self deeeefence just putting holes in paper !!

Paper is the #1 culprit when it concerns injuring people worldwide, so I understand why you take action as retribution. 😝

I’ve been married for nearly 40 years collectively with 2 wives and my fingernails are just fine. 👎
