Watch winder...

[Daytonalover]

Hi to all,

Do u guys think that its necessary to get a watch winder as I seldom wear my watch to work?
Probably, i will only wear them during weekends...and i also heard that unless ur watch is a perpetual calendar watch, then u will need to get a winder becos its very troublesome to change the date.
I had seen from some reports saying that most of the winders for 4+6 comes with 2 rotating mechanisms for 4 watches, meaning 2 on each mechanism.
The question is, if I hav 2x44mm watches on the same rotating mechanism, will it rub against each other and hinder the rotation?
If yes, then is there any recommendations on which type of winder to get? I was looking at MITCH & MARC watch winder but its beyond my budget.
Pls advice....

buy at least 3 watch winder, best if u can buy 6 or more slots type. Then u will fill up all the slots with your prized watches!!

For me i will go for branded winder, what is the cost of the winder compared to ur expensive watches, besides it will not be that noisy after long usage and mine i hv to do some modification so that it won't scratch my watch bracelet links.

BUBEN AND ZORWEG, Scatola del Tempo, orbita, Wolf are all the good brand, i hv used the orbita and Wolf before. Good! dammn regret that i sold them to get a cheapo (but more slots) china made winder.........for my expensive rollies. Spend it and forget abt it.

But what Triton recommended is also a good brand. hor.. Bro Triton?

Also watch out for winder without glass cover, and esp those that displayed in vertical position. Once it's rotating and if it's not secured properly, the whole watch with the pillow will pop out and your few thousands dollar watch will fall like a rock and u will CRY!!!

Haha...everyone hav their point of view...I guess that the conclusion is that: If i wanna get one, buy a good one...if not, then forget about it!

FAQ on winder

Interesting read. Thks for sharing.

To me, the primary benefit of winders is the conveniences they render. Have been using triple & double winders from Orbita and triple winders from Underwood and they have worked well with my watches.
