[rolexxking]

Hi experts,
Please share your inputs on how to choose a watch winder for rolex
Or care to share some sticky threads for newbies like me

As some bros have said, it has been head cracking experience choosing a watch,
now Have to crack brain choosing a watch winder

I have read some terms
TPD RPM turns
Maybe we are too anal about specifications
Maybe ignorance is a bliss

I just want to make my rolex keep time
And just enjoy my hulk

Thank you for your sharing

I bought my boxy for S$160. Thats quite near the retail price of around S$189. So if you get get one that is near to S$100, thats a good buy. I'm using boxy for my rolexes for the past 1 year. So far ok. Choose the lowest speed.

how essential is a watch winder? i have many friends who are content to keep their rolexes in the boxes

Just like a car engine, if you didn't drive the car for a long time, thanks to gravity, the oil on the components of the engine will eventually sink into the oil sump, leaving non-lubricated metal. The next time you start the engine, the non-lubricated components will cause more friction, thus reducing the performance and longevity of the engine. This is exactly what happen if your watch is not put in a winder to keep the parts evenly distributed with lubricants. It will affect the accuracy and shorten service life of the watch.

There are some good Navale and Boxy ones at some shops on the top level of Plaza Singapura net to the toy shops.

thanks all for your input
yes I bought from ebay made in china
around sgd 100++
programmable 3 hour

2 watch pod

advice-- please do not choose those with tension
mine bracelet is quite small, so cannot fit into the original tension strap
also I do not like the feeling of tension strap stretching the rolex bracelet

I removed the tension strap and used soft cushion to insert in the watch pod

Have you considered Wolf Design Winders. I find them to be quite well made.
