Contemplating Wolf Watch winders

I have 2 automatic watches, but wanted to get an opinion on what this forum's thoughts are when viewing or contemplating between these two winders.

One of them has a shelf to hold an additional 3 watches. I didnt see any 2 watch winders for sale, though there are 3+ which I'm not looking forward to spending on right now.

Hoping to hear some thoughts or experiences with your watch winders.

These are on sale for $185 and $200 respectively.

Thanks in advance!

i like boxy fancy brick watch winders.....they are under $100 each, look great, are modular so you can stack them and buy more as needed, and have 16 different speed settings which covers basically every modern watch.

Don't go with Wolf. I had one and the watch holder/cushion scratched the back of my watch eventually.

You are the first to say something as such about Wolf winders.

Wolf winders are really good! The models you are looking do have programmable speed / turns etc with lcd display, which is the feature I highly recommend!

At one time I had almost 50 watches in my collection around 20 of those automatic, yet never felt the need for any machine when I have two perfectly good wrist to wind my watches when wearing them.But if you had a watch with many complications yes then a winder would be a convenience.But seeing at most Rolex has only a date complication winders are not needed just let them stop then re-wind set and go. Must take all off 30 seconds to do,and today many crown related problems are caused by the winding crown not being used enough.Rolex have given you a winding crown and guess what its for winding and setting your watch using it is far better than sat on some machine.

Another vote for Wolf. I have the triple Meriden 2.7. I did have an issue with the winder jumping during rotations with my solid gold watches. Wolf wanted it sent back and they sent me a brand new one.

I still haven't taken it out of the box yet. I'm in the middle of a move.
