JoQ Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Hi! I'm fairly new to the forums. Been reading a lot lately, and I just ordered myself a Tag Heuer Carrera Chrono Black CV2010 from Joshua (Perfect Clones). Still waiting for it to arrive, so excited! Something I'm searching for is a watch winder, the cheapest possible, but not ugly as hell! First thought was, how hard can it be to build one yourself? But then again, I don't want something that ugly Here's what I found: 1. Cheapest/ugly 2. Okey price and looks (plastic ) 3. Best looking/most expensive Do you guys know anywhere else where I can find cheap watch winders? Or some DIY-guide? Please reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbh Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 From everything I've read on four watch forums, cheap winders are a waste of money. They almost never last and are almost always noisy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronin Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Try this: http://www.acetimer....oublewinder.htm best I've found for the money. +1 on the Acetimer for an affordable winder. I have one 8x12 for me and one 2x3 for my wife. I am approaching 1yr on my 8x. It was wisper quite when I got it, it has gotten a touch louder, but not enough to bother me in the bedroom while sleeping 10 feet away from it. AceTimer touts their fuzzy logic. It is actually the weak link since you can not independently control CW, CCW. This makes it A7750, and one way winding movements unfriendly if you leave them on for more than a week without wearing. Easily hacked if you are an electronics geek. Works perfect with all other ETA, and Gens I have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Pay a little more for quality. It doesn't have to break the bank, but an Orbita for a couple hundred will do quite well in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheaper alternative is wear your watch, drink 15 cans of Red Bull, get some glow stick and turn on some techno music!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RLudlowe Posted January 13, 2010 Report Share Posted January 13, 2010 Try this: http://www.acetimer.com/doublewinder.htm I've had an Acetimer quad for two years now with no complaints - planning on upgrading to an eight-watch soon - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
