The winders i use have collapsible inserts so should fit most watches. you just compress insert and install watch. Insert than securely pops into winder.

You can get smaller collapsable pillows from Wolf if the standard are too big. I did that and they work great in my two head winder.

Thank you for your reply and great watch history. I feel almost exact same way about making our own vintage and buying from boutique or AD. My wife also prefers black Daytona.

I’ve always liked the look of Panerai but they are almost always too big. I like the new PAM 779 but too bad it’s titanium not SS (I like the weight). Also although I like the Luminor case, I’m actually liking the Radiomir case even more nowadays.

For GMT I really like the everose GMT and I prefer either full WG or RG over TT.

I think “wonder case” is appropriate here. Fantastic group and winders. Well done and thanks for sharing!

Why do you have Wolfe set on 150 revolutions? I thought Rolex was 650 bi directional.
