On a related note, RowNine has open box Wolf winders at clear-out prices. All are gone EXCEPT the Wolf 4.0 modular winders as posted by R S. - and they're selling them at $90 !!!

WOW.....COOL Set-up there

I have 2 or 3 watches I wear on a circulating basis. I tend to wind the ones...

I'm not wearing that day by the crown. Not sure if that adds more wear, or whether a winder would. Probably 50-50.

Give the Orbita a try. I could not be happier with the two I own. Great winder and beautiful as well.
