Well, Im getting tired of having to set the time and date all the time, does anyone have any recomendations for an Auto-winder for 2 watches.

Thanks

Wolf or Steinhousen are my recommendations. While I own neither, I have looked at both and they are very nice. They are expensive and I figure that it's just cheaper to keep the Rolex on the wrist and just shake my Seikos if I wanna wear them.

Well just how much time do it take to reset a simple date and time complication about 30 seconds.Now watchwinders are not necessary with watches with just the date complication.And over the many years of keeping Rolex and most other brands,and never needed the service of a watchwinder..If any watch is rested auto or manual wind, all thats needed is once a month, just a small wind to keep the very very tiny amount of oil around the movement.

I researched about all the brands before I bought mine and I would recommend an Orbita. Check out their web site.

They can be set to different turns per day (TPD) and that can run from 500 to 1200 TPD depending on the brand of watch. I believe all Rolexes except the Daytona use 650 TPD.

You can also set it to wind CW, CCW or uni-directional, again according to the brand of watch. Rolex is uni-directional.

Here's a picture of mine, taken from an unk web site. It's a Siena 2. Orbitas are expensive but there are several sites offering them at a 25% discount.

They are American made and I have heard several comments that their service after the sale is exceptional.

Can't go wrong with Orbita, quality made and worth the price!

I also would recommened Orbita. I have the Tourbillon for the Daytona and the Ticino for GMT II Red/Black.

I looked at the other brands and they either looked cheap or you couldn't program the number of tpd's.
