Antonio Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I'm tired of my noisy winder, the "burl wood" ebay piece of rubbish. Half of the board burned out so it only turns one of the two motors now. And my other winder doesn't wind enough for some of my watches. Even partial disassembly and extra lubrication of the motor only quiets it down a tiny bit, for about a day. I'm going to make my own, kind of a DIY project. Does anyone know where I can get the part that holds the watches (with the slots for the pillows). I'm interested in getting a few matched ones so I can gather the other parts I'll need on the outside. Deciding on gear driven or belt driven, the latter may be quieter. Anyone have a few matched ones from broken winders that would want to sell/ship them to me? Happy to pay shipping and will of course eventually put up pictures/instructions if/when I get it put together.
Zed Posted April 23, 2007 Report Posted April 23, 2007 I think watch winders really are a waste of money when it comes to Reps .. Out of all my Reps only one Daytona will stay lit ( run ) for months at a time where the others have petered out after a couple days .. I have the same eBay rubbish that you have but mine is quiet with the top down but like I said it didn't keep my watches wound so I hard wired one side to keep it running all the time and still they die .. I was going to upgrade to a good one but now I say to hell with it ... My Gens work fine in them though ... Zed
