Super helpful - just been rotating through my little collection and sometimes wear my quartz watches for a couple days in a row and looking to save the time it takes to try and set the automatics as accurately as possible (not as bad for the hackable, annoying for the non.) First world problems, i know.
No problem man I totally get it! It's just one of those little quirks of living with autos...it almost becomes a ritual to get them wound up and properly set. The non-hacking movements are definitely frustrating, which is why I swapped it out in my SKX project for a hacking / handwinding movement. The vintage diver I bought is non-hacking but I'm willing to live with it since its authentic.
Most of the time I just let my watches die and wind them up when they are ready to be worn. Part of me feels weird about keeping a watch on a winder 24/7...their internal clutches are supposed to prevent excess power or damage but I guess I figure if parts are constantly moving they are wearing out faster. Probably not true but that's my OCD feeling about it
By the way, Wolf Designs is still having their Black Friday sale. If you are in the market for a high quality travel watch roll or a new box, this is the cheapest I have ever seen their stuff. I bought two of the black rolls, one for a Christmas present and one for myself since the free travel box I got from Jomashop a while back is falling apart.
