I have had the wolf 2.0 for 3 watches for about a year now and love it. hey are made extremely well. I believe they have the same motor. They have a power cord or the option for batteries. I think you may be able to do a little better on the price. I bought mine off ebay for $500 for the 3 watch, brand new in box with warranty. They also have excellent customer service and a great warranty.

Wolf are some of the best winders out there IMHO. They have a 17 or 18hr "rest" period that allows the mainspring to unwind a fair amount to prevent a weak spot. I have known of individuals that used cheap winders for a prolonged period of time. Their watches gradually lost 50% of their power reserve.

The best winder is your wrist, but if you feel the necessity to use a winder, Wolf is a good one to own.

Wolf is one of the best Winders on the market,,,if you don't have any problems spending $500 for a 2 watch winder on Ebay. They retail for $1000s @ their website. IMHO, if you have the money for a Wolf Winder, pull the trigger.
