Recommended watch winders?
Okay, I know using them at all is controversial, but putting that aside, what are the models/brands worth getting? Wolf Designs? Orbita? Lower price models that are quiet and work fine?
I'm looking for one that can wind 2 or 3 watches at a time. Thanks in advance. |

Im going to get shunned for this but the Bookstone quad walnut is great. I have my 4 in it and have never had a problem not to mention it looks great.

The only winder I could recommend for all Rolex watches and most people all ready have two and what the watch was designed for wrists.

My "no name" bought off Ebay works just fine and is doing a great job of keeping whichever watch isn't on my wrist properly wound. I got mine for $90. but you can pay up to $120. Lovely finish.
If you have two or more that you wear regularly or in rotation, these are great.

Orbita is the best, hands down. Made in America too. Wolf would be my choice for a programmable winder which you would likely not need with a Rolex.

Wolf's are great, get the 2.7 model so you can program your direction and TPD for each watch. They also give you a great warranty and they can be had for a nice discount to MSRP if you sign up on their website to be part of their e-mail alert list.
They run a few 30% off sales a couple times a year. I have 4 of them, they also look great. |

I had a 'cheapie' off eBay and the wife made it turn it off at night, that's how noisy it was when it kicked in. So that defeated the whole purpose !
Then I bought a Wolf and it is great. As an aside, the slope/angle of my cheapy sometimes wouldn't actually turn the rotor depending on the watch design and the angle of the pillow when you push it in. I had a few different non-Rolexes that were very particular like that. Meanwhile the Wolf always keeps every one of them wound regardless of small variations in angle. |

Orbita sparta. I've had it for 5 years now. Wireless, uses D batteries, and I've never had to change. Very quite compared to plug in models I've had in the past. You can place it anywhere.

I use this one from brookstone. It's quiet and has a battery backup for when I put the whole thing in the vault.

Check out topper jewelers wolf winders.
They have a special deal on them. I need to configure direction and also the turns per day. Allows stacking too so u can have it serve as a display as well.
