Another Rolex--You all are to blame

Started with the TT YM, and after trolling here today added TT blue Sub (thanks, JJ) See pics. Now tell me what winder to buy. Have been looking on eBay but gather you need a strong one for multiple Rolexes. terry

Nice

Beautiful watches. I use Orbita winders, they are great winders and programmable but not cheap. =) maverick

Didn't you get the New Member fact sheet when you joined, Terry? In bold print it warns that you have become an offical watch addict. Once you buy your first Rolex, there is no turning back. They're like Pringles - you can't stop at one. Now that you have two, you will soon be looking for the next one - possibly a GMT-II, a TT DJ, maybe a Daytona, or the Rolls Royce of Rollies- a YG DD with white dial and Roman numbers.

You have a great start to your soon to be vast collection. Enjoy.

There are a number of good winders out there, CW. One I would definitely stay away from is the Steinhausen. They are crap. And although they tend to be more expensive, if you go with a multiple winder, I would opt for a box that has a separate winder for each watch. That way you don't have to worry about maintaining the proper balance on both sides of a dual winder and as important, you can program each winder independently. Some watches require CW turns, others only wind with CCW, and others wind bi-directionally (Rolex is one of those).

If you can find an Alain LeBlanc, I highly recommend them. They are quiet, individually programmable, and long lasting.
