cableguy Posted June 5, 2007 Report Posted June 5, 2007 Why yes I did, and thats why I ordered my winder from *bay.

jfreeman420 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 Quite appropriate. I too have a big winder from the bay. If it lasts half as long as one of my reps, I could still buy 20 more and not come close to the cost of one of those.
cableguy Posted June 6, 2007 Author Report Posted June 6, 2007 these guys make a watch winder CLOSET that holds 50 watches....for the small sum of $65,000 USD. lol
Corgi Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 I don't like winders. They scare me.... I don't want a robot to handle my expensive timepieces!
crystalcranium Posted June 6, 2007 Report Posted June 6, 2007 these guys make a watch winder CLOSET that holds 50 watches....for the small sum of $65,000 USD. lol I don't get the incredibly expensive consumer cost of some of the high end winders. I saw a 12 watch winder/display case made from beautiful Indian Rosewood with quality mechanics for.....$9900?????? What the hell? I can buy a Kia Rio with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty for that much. I guess it's luxury item price gouging. If you have 12 high end automatic watches to wind, then they figure 10K on a winder is a drop in the bucket. I wish someone made a quality winder that fell in a nice grey zone pricewise between the absolute crap from outfits like gadgetbestbuy and the off the charts stuff. Given what goes into a DC motor and some quality gearing, I would think someone could give us Orbita quality for less than $125 a watch.

Huge 2nd! I really dont care about Uber good quality when it comes to the wood used to make the box. All I want is a nice looking box with QUALITY motor and gears! Ah...a built-in timer would also be nice.
