Bought one last year cheap, still going ok but motors are bit noisy :inverted: so I asked the wife politely and kissed her feet (you wanna see them :huh: ) and just got a sixer for my Birthday!

I think they are ok if you need to be able to just pick a watch out and run like me, it used to be a pain to set one up every time I went out and as I understand it on the correct setting it keeps the movements lubed etc.

Sorry for crappy pic..its late :inverted:

I prefer not to. More hassle than it is worth IMHO - unless you own a perpetual calendar. Resetting that one is a bitch. :)

My winder is a godsend on my 1575 non-quick set date Rolex's, and 7753 powered Breitling Navitimer, plus a few other non-quicksets.

Yes, but most of the motors tend to wear out- in my experience. Now I have 6 total winders- 2 are working.

My AceTimer purchased in 1/2009 is still going strong.

this is what i used to make a 16 winder in my closet by taking out a cabinet door and inserting a stain plywood panel and a glass door in front of it. less room for shirts but more room for watches. :)
