[manual watches] am I the only one who doesn’t wind them? (alien.top)

I got tired of setting watches in my collection since I rarely wear the same watch two days in a row. If someone asks for time I look at my phone anyway. So I treat my vintage watches as bracelets. If someone points to the watch showing the wrong time ( which has never happened) I'll say it’s set to a different time zone. Am I the only one who does this? I also want to protect the skin on my fingers, some watches require force to wind them daily.

I saw some time ago a post with a photo of three guys wrists wearing rolex daytonas at a wedding and one was showing different time. It was OP's wrist who after the backlash posted that he does not care, he was wearing the watch as a bracelet, unwound, and not to read the time because he was filthy rich.

I thought 'what an utter douchebag' then.

I still think that it is ridiculous now.
