Will watch winder damage watch?
Good quality watch winders, in general, will not cause damage to your automatic watch. The watch winder movements keep the mainspring of the watch wound, just as it would if it was worn on the wrist.
Why do watchmakers hate watch winders?
The most common argument is that watch winders wear out the movement due to consistent overwear. Another issue with leaving your watch to stop for a while is that over time, the oils inside the movements can dry out and clog, which thus can have a negative effect on the movement’s accuracy.

How does valjoux 7750 work?
The mechanical chronograph languished. The Valjoux 7750 is characterized by its rather stiff pusher action and by the familiar “wobble” of the winding rotor when it spins inside the case. While quartz was still on top, a renewed interest in mechanical movements led to a renaissance of automatic watches.
Is it possible to Overwind an automatic watch?
In most cases, no, you cannot overwind a modern automatic watch. The smart design on these winding mechanisms allow for any excess tension to be released as the spring slips inside of the barrel. Despite that, some wearers choose to store their watches in a watch roll to prevent excess wear on the movement.
What is a 7750 watch?
The 7750 was partially designed on a computer – a first for the watch industry. Valjoux was a movement manufacturer that designed and produced the caliber 7750. Valjoux is now part of ETA.
How can you tell if a Valjoux 7750 is real?
People who know watches can usually tell a Valjoux 7750-powered watch just by holding it. It is characterized by its rather stiff pusher action, sometimes by a slight backlash of the seconds hand as the chronograph engages and by the familiar “wobble” of the winding rotor when it spins inside the case.
Why is the hand not lining up on my 7750 watch?
Unlike quartz powered chronograph movements, mechanical watches do not have the luxury of using a reset sequence to get the chronograph hand to line up to 12:00. If your caliber 7750 powered watch has a hand that is not lining up, it could be a mechanical problem and should be inspected by a professional watchmaker.
Does the caliber 7750 have a day/date or just a date?
Although the caliber 7750 was engineered to have a day/date calendar complication at 3:00, it doesn’t mean your watch will have either one. Some watch companies opt for a cleaner design without the day/date or with just a date.
