    My head is spinning worse than an out-of-control winder.  I have a Spitfire Perpetual (Ref 3757, cal 79261) that I like to keep on a winder.  The renown Orbita database lists it as 800 turns per day, clockwise.  A well-known horologist mentioned that watches should never spin in one direction as the lubrication is not evenly distributed.  If I switch the settings to 800 bi-directional, the watch stops.  Anyone have any thoughts on watch winder settings for IWC 7750-based perpetuals?

    Thank you in advance
