Re: Watch winder question
In Response To: Watch winder question ()

Actually, I bought one on ebay for about $200 including shipping. It holds four watches on two separate winders inside a cherry case with a glass window. It looks very elegant and so far has worked flawlessly. In fact, I used to sleep with my Bond SMP on my wrist to keep it wound, but that resulted in it gaining 4-5 seconds a day. Keeping it on the winder at night, it now keeps nearly perfect time (+/-1 second per day).

My other two Omegas are keeping excellent time on the winders as well, so I'm sold on them. It's nice to be able to just take a watch off the winder and wear it without having to reset the time and wind it. Further, according to my DeVille's power reserve dial, it is being kept FULLY wound on the winder.

Also, my dad has the smaller model that holds only 2 watches on the winder. He bought his on ebay for around $100 and his has worked flawlessly as well.
