Default Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?

Anyone have a reliable watch winder? If so, where did you get it? I need to get one for my Tag but I am not sure about the quality of the ones on amazon or ebay but dont want to shell out 300 bucks for one in a store.

If you really need one, then don't skimp on the cost for a nice one. The cheaper ones on the bay will work, but are usually loud, and do fail from time to time.

May I ask why you "need" one?

What brand watch is that? The glare make it hard to see all the detail. Nice of your son to buy such a gift for his dad!

A lot of glare on the pic but looks to be a Citizen, nice gift!

I also got a watch from my Son for Christmas, needed something to wear outdoors hunting and fishing, etc. He surprised me with this Luminox 3081 BO which is completely blacked out except for luminous hands and points. Really neat looking. Never had a Luminox before but this one looks great and is extremely light for a large watch. Sorry I don't have a real picture but it is so black I am not sure how it would show up.

That's an awesome watch, I've been looking at blacked out ones. But haven't committed to anything yet.

The one i posted a couple days ago that i just got is working fantastically, retails for about 425.00 but can be had for around 200.00. No bad for something that winds 3 and holds 18 more.

if you want a single I cannot help you. I say hit watchuseek.com and research. theres tons of info on there regarding winders! I heard people liked the Swiss legend ones and that they were super cheap. also, jomashop.com house-brand winder is decent too from what a coupel people have told me,.

Oribita is the "standard" brand in watch winders. They are available all over the internet.
