How Old is This Orbita?
I am considering getting a watch winder and found the following for sale. Anyone have any idea which model this is and how old it might be? I have never shopped watch winders so don't know if this is very old technology or not.

Mine looks pretty much like that one and I purchased it in 2000. It has run 24/7 since the day I bought it (yes, 17 years) and it has been perfect. Quiet, gentle, and steady. My watches have been very happy on it as gauged by the consistently great time they keep. I suppose it could go belly up this afternoon, but I could not have been happier with it. Over time I have found Orbita to have terrific customer service. My bet is if mine (or yours if you make this purchase) ever needed anything, they'd be glad to help. I bet if you call and ask them about this model they would give you all the info you want.......
PS: Got mine from an AD in the SW suburbs |

Orbita is a-1 on customer service. Had a problem with mine and they completely retro fitted mine with the newest motors for a reasonable price.

Can anyone venture a guess as to a fair value for this, assuming it works as it should and is in good condition?

I think I'd want to know how many miles it had done.
