Any Suggestions?

Thanks.

 

Jon honestly do not waste your money wind em and wear em. The only watch I ever had on a winder was a Perpetual Calender that was very complicated to set and you did not want to stop running.

 

Orbita.

 

Marc there is a lot of truth here but it turns into a pain in the ars if you are always putting one on and constantly having to remember how to reset all of it. On your note tho I've got 18 watches on Winders and have to reset them by at least 1 day on the calendar and the time is always a touch off almost everytime I grab one because I rotate them slower than 30 days.

So I'd say with just 1-4 watches I totally agree with you. Otherwise I've got two Orbitas and think they are good

 

If you are just building your watch collection - e.g., 1-4 watches like Mark says - then you don't really need a winder.

Orbita winders are very expensive - usually around $5,000 for a winder for 6 watches.

For the price of a good Orbita winder you could buy another pretty nice watch.

Wait until you have 10 -12 watches before seriously looking into investing in an Orbita.

I have 12 watches and couldn't live without the winder. But until I got to 10 watches, I didn't use one.

Just my 2 cents.

 

bah...i'm not big on winders...when I wind and set my watch I use that time to think about my upcoming day, etc...only takes a minute or so for most watches...Butrisster is just too lazy and far too bourgeois to wind his own watch...

 

Agree with you as well Marc - if you have alot of watches they are helpful but most simple Rolex , Panerai and those types can be wound when worn and if you rotate them enough it will be fine but the worst is complicated pieces like the IWC Perpetual I used to own once that stopped you needed an engineering degree to set it LOL. Pateks are usually simpler and the pusher system on them works A+

 

Thank for all the responses.

 

Get a G-Shock and you won't have to worry about this...

 

You can get an Orbita for 6 watches for around 2 k.
