Crown Watch Winders - Anybody Use Them?
Just purchased my first Omega and the crown is a bit recessed and hard to grasp. It does not help that it is a chronograph and has the two adjacent crowns. I was wondering if they made a crown turning mechanism that could assist winding the watch - and sure enough I check eBay (where else) and they have a bunch! Anybody ever used them? I was hoping to find one with a soft/plastic tip but they all seem to be metal.
Look on eBay for a "Watch crown winder" - a bunch show up! |

Never seen one. I have a similar complaint for my Speedmaster. The crown is a pain in the rear to turn and deal with. Looks great but not very ergonomic. I keep mine on a watch winder and it keeps good time so I hardly ever have to touch it.
