Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thanks. What is a reasonable price for one? I don't need anything to fancy and frankly I don't care about how noisy it is, I keep my watches in my living room on my desk.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

100 bucks is probably right around the average for a 2 watch winder. Although I found this one on Amazon for $65.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

May I ask why you want a watch winder?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

WOW, says "SHIPS WITHIN 3-5 WEEKS"

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I have a 4 watch winder and my wife has a 2 I bought off ebay...problem is that if you buy the ebay ones for the $50-$100 they will crap out after 1-2 years. They look nice but have the cheapest chinese motors...and they get very loud too.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

So often we criticize people for buying cheap chinese humidors and cheap chinese watches... why buy a cheap chinese watch winder?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

get it while it's hot...

LOL

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Because the thing what winds your watch doesn't need to cost more than one. :2

Cheap motors? it inst too hard to replace a motor for less than a dollar. I personally will make my own before I spend $100 on a watch winder.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Don't I need one for when I am not wearing the watch?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Maybe, maybe not... if your watch has many comlications and is difficult to set (moon phase, perpetual analog calendar, etc) then a winder may be a good idea.

However, if all it shows is the time then it only takes a second to shake it a few times and get it going then set the time. Same if its a time/date...

Not to mention any decent automatic has a reserve, which should last about 40hrs or more.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Im looking for a watch that has second minute and hour disks that spin with the time showing the time with a line in the glass.

Like this Only without the digital part and classier.

What would this style be called?

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Love Panerai's. My dream is to own one someday :)

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

That would be either a skeleton or tourbillion type watch. Search for both items and see what comes up. Most likely what you are looking for is a chronograph skeleton watch.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Thrak is right on here. You don't really NEED one. To me they are a luxury, which I can do without especially given the cost of a decent one, I can have another watch (or two).

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

I dontthink he's looking for a skeleton/openheart.

I believe he's looking (from what i gather with hsi description) for a multi plane (rotating) dial. Read his original post. I believe he's looking for something very unique and I've see it before. Oh hell, now i'm gonna spend hours searching...

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Spinning chrono disks are on very few watches. And those watches are extremely expensive.

The cheapest one I can find is the Tag Heuer Grand Carrera Chronograph Calibre Mens Watch.

I believe Concord makes one as well.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

A few of these are very affordable

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Wolfgang, check out Watchismo's website, they have a ton of crazy unconventional watches there. Some are quite affordable.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

Those are closer to what wolfgang may be looking for. However those aren't true chronographs.

Re: Wristwatch collectors out there?
 

They might be a little closer i agree. My point was to to clarify. :tu

There was one that looked identical to the one he described and posted (but what he wanted)... i have searched but to no avail. I will keep looking.
