Watch winder

[dapoh86]

For a 3-watch case, what is the price range like? Well it doesnt have to be made from exquisite wood from some extinct tree, as long as it does its job properly. Any recommendations?

i got one from hong kong... called ampm winder. designed in canada. real quiet and comes with tpd settings as well as direction. about $120 for 2 slots.

I bought many things from Qo100, will be placing order for the watch winder soon.

Anyone bought the watch winders from Qo100?

I'm looking for a winder for my newly acquired GMT2C.
Should I go for the Boxy watch winder from ** Watch ?
Looks like the cheapest around for its specification

Have you considered winder from Brookstone? See thread 19. It is essentially the same winder from Boxy.

Hi, I would also caution to review the requirements as specific watches do have different winder specs. One of my jlc was having problems with the power reserve and when I bought back to the shop, the reason was over winding and they think it was my winder (will not name the winder brand as i think its not really the winder issue but more of my own settings and ignorance in usage) that caused the problem.

So I've since stopped using my winder. Just sharing my personal experience, not against using Winders but just to use with care.

Rgds,
Casey

359 and 320 shares the same base movement. both 650 tpd both direction.

if you place the watch on the winder when it the watch has zero power reserve, i.e. the watch is not ticking away at all, then you need to power it up a bit first. it's easier if there is a pri like the 320 or 321. even if i wind it just beyond the "red" zone as indicated by my PRI, it will not work up enug power reserve when just running on the basic 650 tpd cycle. i still need to start it up and put it on speed wind to generate enuf power.

Thanks a lot for your value information Roguehog...

Which Pam model you have? Izzit a hand wound or auto? I dunno what wonder you have but mine allows me to set the precise tpd. No need to time and turn off etc. it also comes with a speed winding function. If I were to place an unwound watch in there and set the required tpd, it will run outta juice. I end to use the speed wind function to get it up to spd. Think of the speed wind as a jump start or warm up while the tpd settings as maintanence.

I am using PAM 359, it's an auto watch. My winder is a basic type with on/off and changeable directional switch. lol. Will be trying out again these few days and see how it goes. Anyways, thanks a lot for sharing your point of view. Cheers..

watch winders should work for Pams, assuming that they are not hand wound...

That's what I thought also. Will be trying out again these few days and see how it goes.
