Watch winder
Do you have one? Any recommendations on a single and/or multiple watch winder?

Watch winder
I have one. It is a Wolf. I did not need it for my Roadster or DJ41, but I did want if once I got my Montblanc alarm automatic. It has many complications: day, date and time. Setting it was going to be pain and a reason to not bother putting it on after a long break. Now I just grab and go.

I have wolf winders and for the money I don’t think they can be beat.

I have Wolf and love them. I rotate my watches daily and just exchange and go. Wolf is quiet and consistent.

Wolf, especially for the 70% off sale they had a few weeks ago.
Edit: WOW! I bought my Wolf 3 triple winder in late 2016 for $625 and now it's selling for $1400 (retails for $1600). Yikes. That'd be a hard pass for me at the current price. Edit 2: I no longer use it (wanna buy it?). Some people ask - would you keep your car running even when it's not in use? Others argue that the watches are meant to be worn and it should make no difference if they're worn on your wrist or a winder (the watch can't tell) and should thus be okay. I'm now in that first camp. Unless you have several watches with complications that make them a PITA to adjust, I recommend saving your money and putting it towards another watch. Or just buy a nice box and save the rest. Plus, I get pleasure out of setting the date and time. Edit 3: As an alternative from the very popular, and very expensive, Wolf recommendations...I tried Chiyoda and was very happy with it during the time I was using winders. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It has some poor reviews, yes. But most of them say the warranty took care of the issue(s). Never had trouble with mine and was as quiet as my Wolf. |

I have wolf and quit using them as they caused my Porsch Design chronograph to need premature service...just my opinion but after servicing, the watch has not needed service in twice the time...

Nope. Some old collegues got me one as a gift and I never got around to using it. I don't mind winding and setting my watches when I want to wear them
