watch winder
Hope you guys can help. I need a nice watch winder with capacity for 7. Again, don't want to spend a small Yugo for it, either. Any suggestion? Thanks

Dude, I know for a fact that your looking at spending at least $1,000. So, I think a Yugo goes for about $7-800. Welcome!!!!!!!!!!

$1000 is definitely within my budget, not $7K!

You would be better off with two separate 4 units ones, most properly work out cheaper quite a few on ebay.

I got the 4-watch version of that winder and it does the job fine. No need to go breaking the bank for one of those.

I don't know how you guys feel about the winders, but I think they are just cool gadgets to have.

I expect it would have four motors, Ed - the 4-watch version is driven by two separate motors.

OK. Then I would say it's a steal at that price or even if it goes for as much as $200.

Well, let me tell you. I have seen a travel winder that is so cool it runs on batteries and runs on electricity. I think its a single though. That winder could be cool if your travelling and want to wear one and have the other turning on battery power.
