Newbie questions on reps. How long can these watches last movement wise ??? I love my new reps and would like to know what I can expect I'm very carefully with them . I have in watch winders etc... thx
It's mostly about chance/luck. It is depending on how it was assembled at the factory.
Some insist on getting them serviced immediately, some just run them until they die, and then service/repair.
Depending on which reps you have, it might even be cheaper to get a new one.
Personally I wouldn't keep them in a winder, unless you have a lot of complications that take ages to set. It can wear them down faster.
But again, personal preference.
Has anybody posted saying their rep died most likely due to winder movement? I get how it could wear them down faster, but does it? If you don’t start with a lemon initially, does the winder really make that much of a difference?

I think he is talking about a watch winder.

......whereas if your setting the time/date, winding, unscrewing/screwing the crown multiple times a week....you could break the stem/winding gear/crown in a matter of seconds. I’ve done it a few times now.
