Reps on Watch Winders

I'm going flame-free on this one as it may be a "duh" kind of question....

I'm finding that most reps that I put in my watch winders (cheapos from eBay...uni-directional deals) stop working after anywhere from a 30 minutes to 6 hours or so in the winder. On the other hand, my gens seem to keep on cranking in the winders.

Is this an indication of perhaps imperfections under the rotors causing the stoppage or the need for lubrication or is this just the nature of reps??

Thanks in advance for the input.

I have not got a dlew about this but it does seem that
all i have ever read about reps talks about the need to
lube the asian auto versions.. tho i have quite a few
that have run fine for a couple years.. but then, I do not
use a winder..
it is probably silly of me, but seems to me kinda strange to
put a watch on a machine that is going to wear it out..
just my take..

I have yet to put any of my reps on winders. They all have worked perfectly, some are a few years old. I am not fore sure I wuld trust putting them on a winder. Just voodoo I guess, or my paranoid nature.

I may be wrong, but I think I read somewhere that Rolex does not recommend winders for their watches.

Rolex is deith, God and the minor idols..

Esp if there is an endorsement..

as companies have personalites

company is a supershit

: )
