The first time I saw the pricing on them my eyes popped out. I kind of thought I was on the wrong website or perhaps it was a joke. I am like any other God-fearing capitalist and believe in a mark up too but dang. That manufacture is really proud of their winders.

Well have you seen the man safe by brown safe co????

Yes I did. It is absolutely beautiful until you see the price. Those things don't even have a fire rating. When I first saw the price I started laughing uncontrollably. I just bought another liberty safe that has a 90 minute fire rating on it. My wolf watch winder fits in it perfectly as well as lots of other valuables. That safe cost $1800 installed in my office. The man safe I looked at was roughly 1/3 of the size of my liberty I just bought. Like I said before it did not have a fire rating and I believe it cost $7500 before installation. It did come with some cool drawers and a Orbita 8 watch winder. Still not even close to being worth $7500. At least not to me.

That's 1300 turns in 24 hours ; think too high for Rolex watches.

Thanks. That's what the nice lady at Wolf customer service told me also. Although on the Wolf, you can only set in 50 TPD increments. i.e. 300 or 350.

If you price them out with the components seperatly, it comes out to about $2800. The safe, the winder, the jewelry drawers, the suede cloth, etc.

For someone who has the time and wants a project, they can be made for half the cost.
