Patek 5970 watch winder?
So I own 3 5970, R,J, and P. Long story short, bought the R, loved the watch but not crazy for the metal. Bought the J and promised myself I wasn't cutting it open until I lost some weight (figured if this didn't do it nothing would!). Then saw the P and fell in love. Hopefully they will both be joining their brother and cut open and on my wrist soon! Wondering if one of you experts can suggest the best watch winder for my three babies? Thanks in advance for your assistance and enjoy a lousy photo from my iphone.

Yes, like the Orbita Sempre
I have no experience with it, as I wouldn't even consider a winder for a manual, but I've heard this seems to be a good candidate: ...
I have the answer! (a modest proposal, with apologies to Swift)
This is indeed a tough conundrum. I think I have the answer, though: Don't wind them all. It's a lot of work! There is a simple way to handle this. Send me the J and R models. I will devote the huge resources to maintaining their state of wind and the cor...
Reliability issue
I'm not sure this kind of winder for manual movement is a good idea. We know we have to avoid twisting the crown while winding it (tensions on the axle) I wonder how such a winder can avoid any tension as the watch would be moving (even a little bit) on t...
I wind
Mine(s) manually. It is quite easy to do. I enjoy it. With this reference you can easily use the pushpin to change date along which makes it quite easy. I don't trust a winder.
Buben and Zorweg......
.......do a very nice one, and they claim the watch is so carefully seated you cannot damage the stem. Would I trust it on a 5970? Absolutely not!
Thanks everyone
for your replies. I guess the answer is really to just set them when you wear them and not risk damaging the stem. I will look into Buben and Zorweg though and try it on a lesser model. Perhaps the G is next but I'm more thinkning of a 5204.

... watch winders work for automatic movement. Manual movement can only be winded with the crown. Bipper, 5970 has a manual movement :) Jst wear it and wind it every day
Nico, after all that time, i must still explain to you the basics? ;)
Even if it was the case, quartz movement don't need a watch winder as well.
