Alpino - The watch winder and watch will be kept in a safe - plus we don't have robbers in our neck of the woods lol :-)

padi56 - I thought it was best to keep it going rather than keep winding it back up with the crown - I have read on many sites that it is best to keep it wound above 75% of its tension.

I would still like to get a watch winder - any suggestions please

Now what do you think the winding crown is for,now if you have been on the Internet and read the many myths about Rolex.Things like you will wear the crown out by manual winding.Just remember this there are millions of manual wind watches with screw down crowns that get wound up daily for decades.And reading your post is that you are only going to wear on weekends,then your watch would need just two manual winds in that week to keep watch running.And that 75% tension is well fairy tails, true a watch keeps better accuracy with more reserve in the spring but in the real world would perhaps make a difference of a second or so which is not life threatening.But as others have said if you must buy one of these machines then the ones from Orbita or Wolf would be a good choice.
