Icon7 Boy, am I GLAD I have this watch-winder!!!

I hardly ever use this watch, once in a great while if I'm working around the house, maybe going to the beach; suff like that. But when I need it, I don't want to go through all the hassel of setting the time again, I discussed it with my good friend Jocke and he reccomended using a watch-winder.

IT WORKS GREAT!

Whenever I need to use it, that thing is ALWAYS on the correct time!


Thanks Jocke, you really set me straight on this one!

I'm sure even Peter won't be able to say anything against that winder. It is, hands down, the best way to use it!

Nice, should give you years of service with that particular watch!

Remember, always put your watch in there the opposite way each time so it will wind properly.

It's not the Audi drive system that makes it expensive...it's royalties for the Lady Gaga track!

Wouldn't saying that it's not that small mean his is bigger..?

...Paul, would you enjoy some pills perhaps?

Jocke you are a true engineer, you make dual practical uses of things you already have around. Paul on the other hand paid good money for a winder for a watch that clearly has a low power reserve
