Anybody know where to get a cheap one for single watch? Buddy looking for one and asked me, the one I have was not cheap and holds multiple so I'm no help lol. He's finding everything in hte 400+ range which I told him is normal lol. Got a new Rolex for x-mas but no winder.

Surfer- Check out Deutsche Optik;Optics and Military Collectibles:Binoculars, military binoculars, rangefinder, compass, nautical antiques, ships clocks, magnifiers, militaria, military watches, Optolyth, Ollech & Wajs, Sinn, pocket watch and military surplus . They have a two-watch winder with an A/C adapter that even lets you choose which direction it winds. $89 or two for $150. Item # DSO26 .



Oh, and congrats on the Rolex. I've had mine for ~30 years.

Not me, I don't like Rolex, I have my other watches. Was a friend who received one for x-mas and needed a winder.



Thanks for the link, I sent him an Amazon link with a bunch and said "good luck" lol
 
Surfer- Ah, OK, sorry I misread what you posted. Yeah, lots of people don't like Rolexes as much as I do (my wife included, won't have one as a gift). Hope your buddy likes the winders, if I were to buy one that's probably the one I'd get.
 
Let me warn you, if you buy cheap, you'll get cheap. It will break. You'll get something mass produced with a Chinese motor in it. Spend the extra $100.00. Trust me.



If you wear your Rolex daily (like I do with mine) you won't need a winder. You can let it sit a good 24 hours and it'll still tick. You can hand wind your Rolex too. Just unscrew the crown and let it pop out on its own. Turn forward like 10 times and you'll have wound it up. At least my 40 year old Submariner works like that.



If you want a decent winder at an affordable price, check these guys out:

They also sell factory irregulars at a discount. It'll be slightly cosmetic where you'll barely tell.



I like Orbita watch winders. Check eBay too for Orbita.
