Ok. Not sure how this is going to go down but here goes, I purchased a cheap as chips £20 winder from amazon 4-5 years ago. It fits in the safe, rotates in either direction for 3 hours every 24 with the aid of a timer switch .holds the watch firmly and when I take it off it is bang on the money every time. I can even say it sounds exactly as it did when I bought it. I couldn't justify spending hundreds of pounds on awinder when nearly all the reviews had some negatives against them. I know it doesnt do my watch justice but no one see's it!. I was more concerned with cross threading the crown by resetting it everytime I wear it which is weekends only due to my job. Maybe I am lucky, but I would buy another tomorrow.

I'm very happy with my Brookstone 4 watch winder. Over 1 year old with no issues.

I have a ROTATIONS 9 watch winder for over a year now and love the piece it has a full glass door with lock and a nice size drawer on the bottom, finished in a gloss black with all black inside. Retails for $1,000. I love everything about it.

Has anybody else seen this "article" - http://www.watchcases.com/breitling-wat ... ation.html

If so, what do you make of it? Would this mean the Orbita rotowind (650 TPD) would not work for most Breitling watches?

Welcome to BreitlingSource, and feel free to ignore the ridiculous statements in that article.

I have a number of Orbita winders (although not the range that one is based on) and have been very happy.

I got a single accuratic a month ago to see if it would meet all my needs with out falling apart in the first month before expanding.

What i was looking for:
1. consistent on / off 2. stylish 3. battery options 4. quiet motor 5. budget friendly 6. multiple rotations and multiple TPD 7. was not made of some terrible faux wood

Pros:
the price is fair
the device classy enough / sleek enough to leave in plain site
compared to my diplomat, the motor is quiet (you can barely hear it if you listen for it specifically).
the lcd screen is nice and the settings are intuitive

Cons:
It is definitely made of plastic so it looks a lot nicer than it feels .
the lcd screen would be improved if you could opt to keep it on all the time vs having it fade after 10 seconds

Bottom line, I just bought a second one and (a $10 connector). I hate my diplomat and have been looking to replace it and the accuratic will be my choice until my watch collection expands and warrants Wolf or Orbita winders

I had troubles finding a single watch winder. I called several places online and they did not answer. I called swisstgallery.com after hours, they got back to me the next day and told me what watch winder would work for my Tag. They recommended a Tresano and the anything more was not sufficient. I am happy with it and trust this company for the info they gave me.
