Watch Winder Recommendation

Hi, Guys,

After a lot of research, I am about to pull the trigger on a 5726A annual calendar, which will be my second Patek.

Could you please suggest a high-quality watch winder for this watch?

Thanks in advance.

I use a Wolf winder for my 5159 PC. It works great and takes a battery so I can put in safety deposit box without worry. Cheers,

An Orbita or Wolf will do just fine.

Eilux is another option you may consider.

One of my dealers gave me a few wolf winders. The settings are incredibly versatile on them. But I keep most of my watches in my safety deposit box now, and it isn't a giant box, so basically I have just been hand winding them lately. Most if my watches I don't worry about keeping wound all the time. Even if the perpetual watch stops, it has a button that moves all of the settings forward one day simultaneously, so I have stopped worrying about it being wound 24/7.

Take a look at Rotolution winders as well. They make a nice dual and quad winder.

I bought an Underwood 10 years ago. Has worked well. No problems. I don't like the watch mount as it is basically a square edge cube with a round leather (faux leather) piece on the front for your watch. I would prefer a cushion so the watch strap isn't stressed. A cushion would probably approximate the human wrist better than a plastic cube.

I don't know if Underwood still makes watch winders. He fully they have improved the mount.

That being said, I am looking for some winders. Anybody know anything about Kubik?
