watch winder for her

[slickz]

Hi guys,
Does anyone have any recommendation for a winder that fits a watch with small wrists? The winder I have doesn't fit my wife's watch even at the smallest setting. Not sure if anyone else have this problem.

Thanks!

If you can't secure the strap/bracelet get a rubber band of the appropriate size and secure the watch on the mount. It's the only way I can secure my wife's watches.

I can compress the pillow/mount enough to just secure the strap but I'm afraid it's stressing the strap.

No Rolex watch needs any sort of machine winder complete waste of money unless you have a watch with many many complications which no Rolex has.If the watch is not needed to tell time on wrist just let it stop.When its needed on wrist just wind reset and go must take all of 30 seconds to do.

I understand the desire. My wife changes her watches constantly yet she has one that is her main one which she hates setting. That's the one she keeps in the winder. Not overly complicated she just hates setting the date if it's off. She'll wear it almost 4 to 6 days a week with fashion changes when appropriate. An inexpensive wolf winder and she's happy.

UH, not really. Many don't wear the watch every day but enjoy the convenience of putting it on and go. And although I don't know, it the wear on the stem, etc worth it? I guess it's a trade off with the rest of the watch movement, but pulling the crown and turning and turning might have its limits. Still, for many, being able to pick it up and wear it without having to set it, has it's value for us.

Orbita sells smaller pillows for their winders.

Even on one of these machines you still have to change the date several times a year.

What about the millions of manual wind watches with screw down crowns Rolex included they got wound up for decades without any problems.And a automatic watch is just a manual wind watch with a auto mechanism fitted.And unless you have a movement that never needs ay sort of adjustment you still got to set it.

I suppose. I truly don't know. Still, I do enjoy the convenience.

And for the OP, Orbita and Wolf are both pretty sweet. I wonder if the Orbita is more reliable since the motor is always on.. when in use. The Wolf cycles on and off.

And Padi, I did get a bit of a chuckle reading your quote. (The clock of life is wound but once) Hope you take it the right way.
