Lobangs for watch winders

[sys12345]

How is the frequency of service related to the need for a winder? IMO, as what u have mentioned, a winder is basically a convenience tool. Its useful especially when

1) You have a few watches

2) U dont wear your watch daily

3) Avoid the hassle of setting time/date each time the watch stops. Bear in mind that ETA movements usually do not recommend date setting between 9pm to 3am. If a watch is stopped, one has to first rotate the hourly hand past 12 to determine am/pm before date set. If u r in a rush to put on the watch and rush for an appointment, this is terrible!

4) A must have addition for ladies with automatic watch(es). In general, they dont like the additional hassle associated with an automatic watch. Free yourself the nagging and hassle! Get them a winder instead!

anyway if watch is serviced every 3 to 5 years, i dont think u need a winder.

your friend also smart. he says i wind for u, i can also do that, cause i get to wear your watch also.

for me is total convenience. most if not all my automatic watches comes with date. so saves me the hassel to adjust date when i want to wear them. anyway if watch is serviced every 3 to 5 years, i dont think u need a winder.

Hijack a little. Just how important/crucial it is to have winders? I've a friend who told me crudely in my face when I sought his opinion to buy a watch winder. He said and I quote, "you give me the money and I wind all your watches for you".. !

Btw, this friend of mine got more than 20 automatic watches at home!

thanks bro for sharing...

ok.. will target to get one these two wks.. if i can't find anything suitable, will order from osea.. anybody wana buy?? Can share postage... probably in batches of two pc per order to avoid GST.

I corresponded with them via email before placing an order. Dont suggest u ship directly from US to SG, their postage alone is US$89!!!! I got them to ship to my VpostUSA add (they provide free shipping within US) and then pay for Vpost to Singapore (Vpost now having promo of S$15 discount for shipping above $40 or $50 if i recalled correctly).

bro, did u liaise with the customer svc directly when ordering or u click online, ordered, then email the customer service to make arrangement for yr order with yr order number?

No one in Singapore officially carries this product according to the HK distributor. If there is, i wouldnt need to

1) Go HK and get one
2) Order the 2nd one online

can they be found at the webby you intro earlier?? Well, ideally if there is a local guy who sells these, pls also advice.. Would prefer this mode unless the local guys are pricing it too high.. Cheers!

They are ALL the SAME. Techwinder, a.k.a. Landmark or ERS. These are winders made in Hong Kong using Japanese motors. High quality finishing, very quiet motor yet affordable. Comes with 110V - 240V AC/DC adapter.

Anybody heard of this company??

The trick here is BALANCE, not necessary to purchase an additional watch to fill up the slot. Get an object small enough to fit and stay secure in the slot (make sure its similar to weight with the watch in the other slot).

O that a bit bad!
Now I only have two watch, one wearing, one at home in the winder.
That mean I need to buy one more watch but my CO will kill me .
Maybe can take one of battery watch to put together with the auto watch to wind together
