commented on I'm curious, how do you clean your watch? ·

Most of the time just my shirt or a wooden pick. Once in a while ultrasonic, one from Amazon isn’t that expensive and when you’re sending your watch off to a watchmaker they will love you for it

commented on Minimum Daily Wrist Time to Keep Wound ·

I don’t think it’s the most realistic comparison but my IWC Perpetual has a 7 day power reserve and, with a desk job, it takes me around 2/3 days to get it fully wound while wearing.

I personally don't have much experience with them. Though a friend of mine wears his watch on an expansion bracelet all the time and he absolutely loves it!

I also think it depends on how much armhair you have haha... My friend doesn't have a lot so there isn't a lot to be pulled.
