I remember a post some time ago concerning watches not fitting winders but can't find it. Picked up my new winder yesterday from my AD. Brought it home and went to put my Sub in and lo and behold the pad is about an inch too small. Fits my wifes watch perfectly but any mans watch is too big. I can put a piece of foam under the watch but then it almost looks as though the watch is close to hitting the glass cover. My cheapo winder has a spring loaded device to hold the watch which allows for adjustment. These winders with the pads have to fit the watch perfectly since you don't find many Rollies with Speidel bands! Anyone have a solution to this? (I know, leave it in the drawer and wind it manually).

What brand did you get? I have a Wolf and it comes with 2 different sized pads.

Actually, although purchased from an AD, can't find a name on it anywhere. I think that as you say, these pads are for womens watches. I'm going to take it back and if they can't get larger pads, return it.

Mine is the same way. Too small!

When the winder is on they tend to slide just a bit. I dont want them bumping together so I have left it off until I can find a solution!!

Orbita has 3 foam sizes to fit small, medium, and large wrists. If you buy one they come with medium, just ask the salesperson to swap it out for the size you need, they do not charge extra when you order initially.
