Just got my Roadster double with storage and it's a nice upgrade from my microfiber cloth. Generally as well the Wolf design winders handle bigger watches much better, my brookstone does not handle some of my larger watches very well (tips back and forth on rotation) and as well of course the finish is better, my brookstone is just standard cheap wood used on most inexpensive jewelry boxes.etc, I'm sure the Wolf design would look much nicer on your dresser/shelf next to your collection.maybe it's time for an upgrade for me (I might have just talked myself into it) I have a cheaper winder (from Brookstone) and you just have a switch in the back and you have to remember which position equals what setting. One nice feature with $188 winder is the LCD display which lets you know what setting the winder is on.
Another nice watch related deal, great to see. Rhounsell wrote: ↑Thanks for the post OP. Not speaking to the particular model that you got (since I don't know about that brand in particular), but a lot of the cheaper winders with less powerful/reliable motors fail a lot sooner than higher quality winders, can't fit bigger/heavier watches with thick straps, no storage compartments or have dual power capabilities. I'm personally not a fan of sending my watches in for $600+ services more frequently than I need to either.
I think the best winders are the ones that mimick the winding pattern of actual wear.some of the cheaper winders won't and may actually do more damage by overwinding your watch. BUT whatever winder you get, make sure it doesn't consistently overwind your watches, that will place unnecessary wear and tear on the overwind mechanism of your automatic which essentially is a gear that allows slippage when fully wound. A watch winder is supposed to keep your watch from stopping. Warpdrive wrote: ↑A winder is a simple device. Something to keep in mind when you are looking at a winder to protect your expensive watches With the cheaper watch winders, the mainspring is consistently fully tightly wound, and that's not the way the watch normally experiences when you are actually wearing the watch. It also has sleep cycles to allow the watch to wind down for a few hours and then it winds them up again, just like if you were wearing it and placing it on a night table overnight. after wearing it a whole day, when you place your watch and start it, it doesn't start winding right away. It's programmable, of course, to match your watch winding needs, but it also has delay cycles. The better watch winders like the Wolf do have several features that help protect against that.
