Horns of a Dilemma

So, I have my watches on an automatic winder machine thingy, plugged into the TV socket etc, so, when I go to bed, I unplug everything

Do I "A" leave the socket live all night, winding the watches, or, "B" turn it off, risking not having a watch wound up in the morning

These things are important to us who have no access to a virtual winder

Don`t worry about it, have another night cap and toodle off to bed.

Is this a wind up

Plan A - Turn it off. Assuming the auto winding mechanism on the watch(es) is in reasonable order, a few hours a day on the winder should keep them running.

Plan B - 10 minutes surfing adult websites will give the auto winding mechanism enough of a boost to run for a week

It's a tough one right enough.

10 minutes

That's like running a marathon, I'm more of a 100metres man myself
