Rolex & Winders... no need for them.
You're going to say 'I told you so'...
3 months ago I decided to buy a Wolf Winder for my watches, it arrived yesterday (Brazilian customs). Since none of my watches have a significant complication I realized first hand that this purchase was a huge waste of money. Don't get me wrong, the winder is fantastic. Luxurious finish, great packaging, even the bag is cool... but on a second thought I think it's a better investment to save your money and buy a new watch. Some pics.

A very nice looking winder, but more of a display piece than anything....
I agree that the money is better spent towards another watch!

Nice piece.
I have a winder and love it, £100 off ebay and does the job. I'm a winder fan. Sorry guys.

Never the less, you have a sweet collection
My personal masterplan includes only three watches so I will never have a need for a winder

winder keeps your watches ready to go and spares the excess wear on the crown gaskets.
looks good.... the only issue you seem to have is that you need a watch with some complication to make you feel better.... here is my suggestion:-)

You are correct!
You're absolutely right, there is no need for a watch winder.
I'll be happy to help you out. Will PM you my address so you can send me the winder. :D |

That thing looks sweet! I would rather have a winder than to let my watch run out of power and reset the time and unscrewing/screwing the crown. Too mch wear IMO.
