rbj69 Posted January 18, 2007 Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 Well i just liked the look of these so picked two of them up , u know a reall watch collector cant have too many watch winders, lmao anyway i bought one off ebay a little of 2 years ago and it is still running strong i believe i gave 60 bucks for it , but the person i bought it from isnt around anymore , too bad cause that one has done well then i bought two from a ebayer named gadgetsbestbuy(u know the ones with the pillows in the holders and plastic window ) about a year ago and both had mechanical problems , one i had to hot wire it , lol and the other i took the motor apart and fixed it , they r still running but i just had to hot wire the one about a couple months ago i guess maybe less now i just bought two this year, (yes it seems i buy a watchwinder every year) but its always because my passion for watches keeps growing and i am a true believer of keeping those self wind watches wound , also im lazy and dont like to keep resetting them , lol so far this one is the best one i own , it cost 79.98 with shipping but to me the look and the quietness is much better than the last two i bought , but equal sounding to the fist one i bought (the only thing is and i guess it will take some breaking in these pilows r expandable so they r tight when u put your watches in place but the quality of the wood , the nice designer felt with gold helmets lingin, the lock and hardware and real glass is by far a bigger bang for your buck (now how long it will last only time will tell) but so far it sounds quiet and works nicely and i do believe it has the same motors as my first one that i bought but cant be sure Hope u enjoy the quick pics!!! (btw i had to buy two cause im expecting a couple more beauties to add again to my collection lol) joe(rbj69) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rbj69 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2007 yeah i thought it was a beauty as well (it has three settings so if u have what they call a special movment it has that mode as well , im guessing they mean a flying tourbillon) , and it holds my daily beaters as well, thanks TT joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
