jfreeman420 Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share Posted June 6, 2007 I don't like winders. They scare me.... I don't want a robot to handle my expensive timepieces! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crystalcranium Posted June 6, 2007 Report Share 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
