  • 2 watch winder place in safe

    Hi,
    I bought a 2 watch winder place it in the safe using 2 AA batteries, problem
    is the batteries don't last more than 3 week, I rather used AC adaptor but I have to drill hole behind the safe, the adaptor socket is 9mm thick whereas the cable is 3mm thick,

    I trying to dismantle the electrical adaptor so that I can drill 3mm hole in the safe and push this 3mm cable thru. Seem that its impossible to dismantle the adaptor
    head. Any one tried doing this before?

    cheers

    What brand winder did you get? I know b&z has in-sa units. You might wanna check those out instead.
    I don't have enuf watches but I will stop buying now!

        like to know how do you intend to drill a hole through the safe. dont think it is easy to do it.

          My advice is not to drill any holes. The safe has been fire-rated as-is...no lobang included.

          The easiest way is to parallel the battery pack and use D-size batteries.

          AA-size batteries has capacity of only 2,500mAH whereas D-size batteries are about 18,000mAH

          When you parallel 2 packs of D-size batteries you'll double the capacity, which is 36,000mAH
          (Note:- Batteries in parallel gives same voltage output but double the capacity)

          Let's do some math...
          Motor with load (watches) will consume about 40mA (I've tested all china/taiwan made motors)
          Divide 2500mAH by 40mA = 62.5hrs
          However, i assume the winder has a 'stop' or 'pause' in its winding sequence; so this saves a little power thus making it last for about 3weeks.

          Now, if we use 2packs of D-size batteries in parallel, we get...
          Divide 36,000mAH by 40mA = 900hrs

          So (in theory) if we equate 62.5hrs = 3 weeks, then with 900hrs... your winder should last about 10mths.
          A lot of other factors will determine this calculations... such as weight of the watch, type of batteries used, etc.

          Just my opinion Redsub.

            Never drill hole on safe. It's supposed to be break-free and fireproof. In any case, I feel winder should not be placed inside safe. The daily wear watches put in winders while the more expensive and seldom wear then put in safe.

              I'd go with this also.

                Do you really need to put your watches in the safe? The winder should have locks right? Must be some expensive watch.....

                  a $500-900 winder is not much security on a $12,000 watch.

                    I was thinking of plugring into external battery pack. Understand it can last for more than a year for a single winder. Cheap somemore.

                      This is what I did. Bought a laptop safe with hole at the back for electrical cable entry. Put in 8 watch winder, dehumidifier and a sensor light.

                          What I mean is is your house that unsafe? Sure better safe than sorry I guess. I wonder just how many people keeps their winder in safes.
