In the last month I have bought 2 tags, a tissot, and a rolex.

Now the problem is some are automatics...

Can anyone suggest a watch rotator brand - seems I am in the market now

Sorry to double post by I missed the edit time.

Anyone have any thoughts about smoking while wearing a leather band? My Tag Monaco has one and I would prefer if it didn't take on an odor.

This is a question right up my alley. I am not familiar with Tag Bands. However, most OEM bands are usually made to withstand a little more mistreatment than an aftermarket one. That's because they are usually not 100% leather.

If you smoke with it on it will take on an odor. And no amount of conditioning or treating will get it out. Sorry to say, but that's the truth of it.

I would think that a leather watch strap would be like leather funiture: won't hold smoke odor. Plus, unless you are blowing smoke directly on your strap or are smoking in a very poorly vented room, how much smoke is actually going to get to it ?

www.watchuseek.com should yield decent threads about watch winders. they are not all equal... yet all do the same job

as far as smoke on leather bands.. i wouldn't worry too much, your wrist sweat and other stuff (hot sauce, soda, coffee, other things you spill on it) will make it smell regardless!
