p-lund Posted September 1, 2009 Report Share Posted September 1, 2009 hi ! i wonder if there is anyone ho knows about watchwinders(where i can buy one with good price/quality-ratio. i also wonder how to wind ETA, asian autos, and 7750:s, so they will work properly. i have read that different brands requires different windingmodes(clockwise, counterclockwise or both). hope for the best.

maxman Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 To Google "watch winders" Is the best way to find good deals on winders. Try "World of watches. They had some wolf winders about a week ago that were from around $100.00(two slot)and up. I have also seen some very good deals on the Bay, good luck and happy hunting Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 FYI, the "Fuzzy Logic" AceTime winders while great for gen's, and ETA 28xx movements, will fail to keep A7750's and other one way movements wound. Even at their highest setting of 1000 TPD you are only getting half of that in one direction. 7750s and many other one way movements need around 650 TPD. Still love my AceTimer, but FYI...

Bike Mike Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 7750 movements require 800 TDP to stay fully wound. ETA 28XX movements require 650 TPD. I wind my A7750 same of my Gens with ETA 7750 and have had no issue. My watchmarker buddy told me about these guys. I have not tried them as build my own winders.

Bike Mike Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Care to share pics of these home made wonders? I am making my own winders (case) using the DIY Module from Orbita (this is why I did not comment on Cost vs. quality as I do not have anything to compare to except the winding mechanism.) You can also use the Sparta modules from their open face winders and convert to the DYI for $10ea. buy purchasing the "housing" from Orbita. Surprisingly to me, Orbita has been very cooperative in helping me out. Going for this look out but using hard maple with purple heart inlays. I will post pics when I have it completed.
