Perpetual Calendars are probably the only watches people recommend using a watch winder for. Most have the dimple pushers on the side, and pushing it forward a few days to a week isn't THAT bad... but months? No thanks lol.
Also, make sure not to push too far ahead by accident, or you'll have to let it wind down to catch up.
And WORST case scenarios, you'd have to send it back to the manufacturer to open the watch up to change the dates. I've heard horror stories of people buying an old perpetual calendar off ebay or something, and the watch is a decade or 2 behind. Have fun setting that to today's date lol.
I think there are a handfull of perpetual calendars out there that can be set forward and backward... which is something I think all perpetuals should do!
