My New Wolf Watch Winder

Here is a quick picture of my new Wolf Watch Winder. I thought I would be a great way to store my Rolex watches.

I have it set for 600 bi-directional revolutions. From what I read that seems to be a good setting. Any input from those who use a Watch Winder?

Nice winder. Not for me, I prefer to get hands on and wind it myself but I can appreciate a nice winder 👌🏻👌🏻.

Brookstone has a nice 4 watch winder. It's worked flawlessly for me

I have a Wolf also. I was told by the folks at Wolf to set it at 350 in the bi-directional mode for a Rolex. This gives it about 700 turns.

Maybe someone else can chime in on this.-

My single Wolfie has worked flawlessly and sips instead of gulping batteries like my previous cheapos did,

I have a 10 watch winder and loved it but realized I missed winding the watches myself. (Old pic)

FYI, Rolex needs about 650 TPD to keep running at a minimum, you can certainly set it for more. My Eilux spins at 900TPD and all is fine.

I like my wolf module 4.1. Can't hear it at all and build quality seems reasonable.

I did have to buy the smaller sized cushions to fit my watch, which I found surprising. I usually remove 2 links, didn't think that was too unusual. Even then, it's tight with the clasp closed.

My wife's DJ barely fits, has to be unclasped.

I have been using a wolf single watch winder for about three months mainly for my GMT when I am not wearing it. It is great, quiet and so far haven't needed to change the batteries. I have it set at 650 bi-directional. On the winder and on the wrist has only lost about 30 secs over the last three months.

Looks good. But for gods sake. Put that thing in a proper safe.

Wolf Designs watch winders are great! The smaller ones can be battery operated or used with a power cord, which makes them quite versatile.

Great watches by the way!

Very nice. Does that one have the storage on top with the travel case?

Yes mine has the storage with the travel case. That's one of the reason I bought this model. I have a couple of quarts watches that I'm going to store in the top.

I agree, as much as I like how it looks on my dresser I did put it in my safe.

Nice! I have several Wolf winders myself, they are great and the programmable features very convenient.

Wolf is top notch. I have a couple of nice high gloss wood winders myself that I will be storing in the new safe. Mine run on battery or 120v. I would imagine Wolf has that option too.

I like the orbita sparta's five years on a set of batteries.

A question about TPD...does 650 Bi-directional = 1300 turns per day? 650 each direction?

I love the orbita too. The only problem is when the time is right you have to decide whether to buy another Rolex or the Orbita.

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.
