 imho winders aren't all they are wound up to be but if you have to buy one buy an Orbita and that's what you will find 9 out of 10 WIS reccomending....:D

....once your collection grows winders become more of a nuisance than anything else....now I speak as a WIS with a fair amount of watches and there is no way I can keep that many winders...space and the electric bill would limit that lol!....the lube used by watchmakers these days doesn't coagulate nor get varnishy as what was used in the past so constant winding is not neccessary....now with 2 watches and wanting to keep them wound at all times is cool and understandable  if you just want to grab and go but to most WIS the whole setting the time and winding routine is a big part of the hobby...at least to me it is....anyways Welcome to 3T   hand6.gif
