·With over 30 it is getting to be quite the chore. Do you think once a month is enough?
How often do you wind your manuals?

Bingo. There's nothing bad about letting a watch sit unused for a month or three.

·+5 or whatever we're up to now, what JohnSteed said.
I find winders annoying ever since the one I was given as a thank you was non-functional. 👎

The only automatics I keep on a winder are the my Orients because they are my least expensive. Someone else's example: leaving a watch on a winder is like leaving a car running in the garage overnight.

··Carpe horologium!I only wind before wearing (have an equally large collection), and all seems good...
I found my very 'first' watch' (as far as I can remember), a '67 hand-wind, deep in a box a few months ago. It had been unwound for at least 25, maybe 45 years.
I wound it, and it actually ran pretty well!
That was before I realized it's probably not a good idea to allow an unserviced watch to run (kinda like starting a car before checking the oil level!).

Pick watch out, set time, swap watch. So two get a turn sometimes.

··Ash @ ΩFI wind most often when in a meeting with a boring individual or having to sit through something tedious. Satisfies my compulsion to fiddle with something without pulling a pen apart and losing the parts.

··Double D @ ΩFTell you something funny, the former office secretary once got very upset at OfficeWorks on the phone because she said every time she buys a stapler from them within two weeks the staples are stamping with their ends outwards instead of inwards and demanding a refund. I didn't realise she'd bought about 15 of them because I'd kept fiddling with the directional die on the end of the staplers when I was bored.
Was she blond?
