Woohoo! Got my watch winder delivered to my office yesterday. I was out with friends last night, so this evening was my first opportunity to take a couple of photos:

Despite my cynicism about eBay sales, this has got to be one of my all-time great deals, paying 2.3% of the RRP. The winder is exactly as described in the ad, brand new from Niche Marketing in Canada (they advertise as ctideals on eBay if anyone's interested in bidding for one).

Prince · 8 June 2006, 10:39 PM

Yep. Congrats - you will love it, as I do mine. Exactly as advertised!

Well done, James. Niche Marketing is where I've gotten all my winders (except for the Underwood single, which I bought in London). They are very good to deal with. I've also bought sets of poker chips from them.

Very nice James... if you don't mind me asking... what was the total cost all in?

Gedanken · 8 June 2006, 11:38 PM

No problem, John. All up, US$170.94:

$29.99 for the winder
$14.95 for the optional 220V adaptor
$126.00 for shipping by UPS Express (Canada to Australia).

Very cool. I'll have to look for them on 'the boy' to see what else they have and where in Canuckleheadland they're from.

man, that's a STEAL!

Ain't it, though? I just spoke to Lol-x tonight and he still can't believe there's nothing wrong with it!

Very nice James great pity the cost of posting but you still had a bargain.

C.J. · 9 June 2006, 12:57 AM

Very nice, James

Good luck with it

That's a beauty, James....very practical too from the storage point of view!!

Excellent price....funny how the shipping was more than four times that of the actual cost!

mamas · 9 June 2006, 05:15 AM

congratulations! what a great buy..

9 June 2006, 07:48 AM

That's an incredible deal! Great find James

Very nice James.

There is one thing I notice, you have four empty spots on the bottom that need to de filled up.

dman · 9 June 2006, 02:16 PM

Great pickup James!! Looks well worth the money spent there mate, enjoy!

Those are for Sasha's watches!!

Gedanken · 9 June 2006, 07:42 PM

Actually, JJ's not far off from the truth there. Sash's birthday is coming up in September, and while she's not too keen on Rollies or Tudors (I've suggested a Lady Date and a Lady Sub), she does like a Hamilton Ventura. I'm just looking around for a good deal on one of those now.
