Is it a "tuning fork" movement?

I noticed that Amazon is having a sale on watch winders. Does anyone here have experience with this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Double-Automat...478974&sr=1-16

Brand Name:BelociaModel number:1011-doubleWatchWinder-blk-2Part Number:BELOWIN2item-weight:3 Pounds

It is heavily discounted, which could mean good things or bad things.

That watch winder sounds real basic. If you are rotating the two watches regularly, it will be fine. If it is for two watches that will sit there for days on the winder, I might consider one that won't "over wind" the watch. Usually that will be listed as a feature.

I have heard a lot of no-so-good reviews of that winder, basically from what I have read it does not last long and is loud. I don't personally own it but I would look for something a little nicer. I have read good reviews about the Brookstone winders and they are relatively inexpensive.

I have had great luck with mine. They can be had for cheap.

Search "sicuro watch winder"

Thats a nice B, S15! I have 2 myself, a SuperOcean that was a wedding gift from my wife, and Navitimer that was such a good deal I couldn't pass it up. I also have a Tag F1 Chrono with an orange face, A Tissot T-Touch, Luminox F117, and more G-Shocks than I can count.

Not what you would call dress watches, mostly dive/tool rugged man watches

Our office is near Tissot and my cousin has worn the T-Touch since it came out. Very impressive watch that has been quite reliable actually! Even in the highest of the Alps, the watch is dead on.

Reminds me of a budget Omega X-33 (which is one of my favorite watches).

I love the compass function

The case and bracelet on the titanium model is well crafted and is quite a good buy at that price point considering the material and detail.

MurphysLaw · 03-01-2011, 11:39 AM

I love my t-touch, especially when I get a chance to show off the features, the touch sensitive crystal is amazing. The altimeter isn't as accurate as some of the Casio's I've owned, but its still an amazing piece

Thanks Bobby, I love the size of the Jsar, just had it beadblasted and I am loving it.

Wow... that's a Rolex I think I like...

I really want a watch with Roman numerals on it, I think...

If you like the rolex and want roman numbers, the datejust line is pretty cool.

I'm more in to the submariner (which I own) and the GMT Master II (which I'm considering at the moment).

I have calibrated it a few times, not sure if I'm too close to sea level or what the deal is. Sometimes its right on, others it'll show me as 100ft above sea level
