[emoji26] I just realized what going from daylight savings to daylight standard time means when you have 16 watches on winders and another 20+ Quartz watches. I know those ones are probably ok to set backwards but I don't like doing it. I have 5 hummers that are never supposed the be turned counterclockwise. I'm in for a raw thumb and forefinger tonight...

I feel like the strategic way to get them done is reset your watch rotation and include all of them day by day(or maybe 2 each day) and adjust them as you are about to wear them. Otherwise...
Oh yes... It's the time of the year again... I don't have as many, but I hate having to adjust my watches and clocks twice a year... : (
I'm am always willing to lose a bit of my thumb and index finger if it is in the service of staving off another Monday morning by just a little bit. It's the "spring forward" that pisses me off to no end!
Would any of you just cheat and go counterclockwise? Does it really harm a mechanical watch? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
You might as well be saying "If you jumped off a bridge you wouldn't need a watch anymore." You could just pull the crown for an hour. If the watch doesn't hack, you could let it run out of reserve and reset / restart it. Sent from my wife's little 'puter uh-cause I spilt wine in my MacBook Pro.
No daylight saving for me, but do have to change back to bracelets and cheap straps every wet/humidity season.
Just had a bit of an epiphany. Changing the date on a lot of my watches involves moving the minute hand back and forth past midnight. If moving the minute hand backwards is okay for that then it should be okay for "falling" back an hour. I'm going to save the fingers and just go back one hour instead of forward 23.

AND I just remembered that my Omega quartzes all have the hour hand time zone adjustment so it's really easy. [emoji4] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Don't think that's a good idea, and one reason I hate date models. My trick is to leave them all in rotation unwound and wait for the date to come around before winding and wearing again. If you have several date models then just keep them all 5-10 days apart and you will always have a watch nearly ready. Personally I like to give my watches a rest, I don't have any watches that are kept wound 24/7/365
