Thinking of buying a watch winder. I have 2 Rollies and go thru periods of wearing 1 more than the other. I know it's no big deal to set them. I just would like to grab one and go. I have done the Google thing and have seen everything under the sun. Any advice would be a great help.

Well, I just got one for myself from eBay - I've posted about it here.

I saw that but when I checked the Bay...I didn't see amything close to your deal. I am just looking for some advise on what to look for in a winder or what to stay away from. Congrats on your deal. Let us know how it works out for you

There are a number of good winders out there. There are also some crappy ones. Steinhausen is one of the latter. They are garbage. I have two Alain LeBlanc triples that I love. Very reliable, quiet, and programmable. One of the best things about them is that each watch sits on a separate winder so you can program each one individually. Orbita makes very good winders, as does Eulix (sp?). Good ones aren't cheap. You can expect to pay $100 +/- for a single and maybe $150 +/- for a double.

I have just 2 Rollies and have never found the need for a winder. A third Rolex, however, might...for you, that is.

I'm not even dreaming of a third!!
