My 1969 Seiko. Put it on the watch winder in 2009 and left it on until I gave it away to my close friend in late 2014, So had it running constantly for nearly 5 years. What have you got thats been running non stop for some time?
keep this one run for 2 years... even though i don't have any winder.. if i'm honest it might stop for a couple of time because i was out of town, but beside that it is running since i got it in 2013.

Strike one for hand-winding, rfortson! That daily connection can't be beat, imo
It's the final countdown! PM me before they're all gone!
I bought it new in 1977, and wore it continuously until about 1984 when I bought my Casio DW-1000, and a Casio C-80. So about seven years, give-or-take a few months.
I have no idea !
I wore my SMP pretty much every day for about 4 years before I bought my Aerospace; but there were some/several weekends when I didn't wear it at all (due to DIY & garage type work) and I know I had to wind it on the subsequent Monday mornings. I'd think a few months at most.
