Why do you think that if you don't wind your watch regularly it will last longer? I heard otherwise. But I didn't saw any evidence one way or the other...
Not many of my watches are serviced and I don’t trust that the dirty movements won’t wear fast if put on a winder. But yes, they also run the risk of needing a service if you leave them too long without use so the oils change state, from what I’ve heard.

also, if you use the crown too frequently to set the time then it harms the watch. isnt it? as you experienced you broke stem in the past.
so To use a winder, or not to use, that is the question. there is a dilemma.
-Use winder: damage by magnetic? unnecessary wear and tear while on winder?
VERSUS
-not use a winder: inconveniently set time again and again if you have many watches?
damage caused by using the crown too frequently?

More like a run of bad luck I think. Each time I'd used the crown and stem no more than 3-4 times before it broke.

Since joining RWI I have become addicted to this hobby. I am no longer resisting my addiction I decided to combine my other hobby of woodworking to support my purchases. The first box I made held 12, then I moved on to the 36. My 36 watch box is full. Currently, I am working on making another one that will hold 72 watches. I will be using walnut instead of plywood.
Dude!!
I'm a buyer anytime you are selling this unit or future units. I am looking for a display cabinet like that for a very long time. Good job constructing this. You should def think of making this a little side business or at least help some of us who have this sickness. I've started 2 years ago with one rep (pam 111) and today I have close to 30 (factoring the one that is on the way)...LOL

That wall unit is awesome. A friend of mine whose a carpenter and mechanical engineer built a unit like that in a secure safe drawer. Like the one the police use in the back of their trucks to secure firearms. It pulls out like a drawer and has biometric locks. I think it holds 80 watches and accessories.

If the little green light is on the winder will be randomly rotating one of three speeds. Some on my Breitling Gens are quartz from the 90's. No need to have the winder's running
My standard answer is ...If I had to make money at my woodworking it would not be fun. My daughter is the only person that can get me to make things for her.

I am laughing. One is enough. She even got me to build a house for her with her help. It took 18 months.

Great, bro!
Enjoy your family and your hobby!
Congrats,
I use the; Tech Swiss 10 Watch Wood Finish XL Extra Large Compartments Fits 63mm Soft Cushions Glass Window, Black $59.95
I have purchased three of the boxes. I like the boxes because they have large compartments per watch.
