I have a Raymond Weil Freelancer automatic that I keep on a Wolf watch winder, but 2-3 days after wearing it and keeping on the winder it always dies. Is that normal, or am I doing something wrong?

You may have the direction of the winder set wrong. The Freelancer likely only has a unidirectional winding rotor. The other option is that you’re not giving the watch enough power while wearing it (if you’re super sedentary). A full, manual winding with the crown (~30-40 turns) will ensure you’ve got full power and that power is maintained even with minimal arm movement.

I don’t know your exact model, but see if it’s listed here:

A second door last night since Mrs. PS and I were behind by a day. This one was quite a surprise, as I never though of Glendfiddich being peated. Their mainline bottling is not, but this definitely is, though nowhere near as smokey as an Islay. I didn’t pick up on as much sweetness as I would have expected from a rum cask. Overall this one felt a bit jumbled, with several contradictory things going on. I liked exploring it and would consider a bottle at the right price.

Searched the bowl and could not find a direct comparison. I have the opportunity to purchase a) Santos de Cartier Medium or b) Rolex Oyster Perpetual 36. Both white dials and SS. Tried them both on and am leaning towards Santos because it stood out a bit to me. Thoughts? FWIW, I only own a “mall brand” dress watch on a leather strap and am looking to upgrade.

Guys, you were right. GS never did it for me, but then yesterday I happened to be at a jeweler who carried them and I tried them on and experienced them first hand for the very first time. The skyflake especially, but the details of those watches are absolutely impeccable. They’re stunning in the flesh. I was wrong this whole time and I’m sorry. Sincerely, a reborn GS fan.
