Questions about settings for winder

[psychobabble]

Hi all!

I'm new at watches and I just bought a winder. This may have been answered before, so please forgive me if I ask again.

I have an Omega Geneve with a 565 caliber movement and an Omega 1020 movement.

1. Is it optimal for the winder to go clockwise or counter-clockwise with these vintage movements? Will I risk damaging it going the opposite way?

2. Is it a good idea to keep these vintage watches on a winder or should I just adjust them when I wear it? I wear them less than once every two weeks, only for dressy occasions.

3. Is there an optimal number of revolutions per day for these watches?

4. I have an Omega Seamaster 300M, is it bidirectional winding? I wear this watch daily and don't really need to use the winder for it.

I thank you in advance for your help.

Regards, Stephen

It depends on the movement. Check the Orbita data base.
