Hi Have a Breitling Bentley Motors 48 mm watch! Is Wolf Watch winder a good one to get? Anyone have some links to get a good one for single watch? THanks |

I just did a lot of research. From what I gathered, Wolf and Orbita are the top of the line and work very well. You can get good deals sometimes on the Orbita outlet on their site. I also have heard good things about Official Time winders, and I just ordered one. They shipped it out amazingly quickly. I ordered it Monday morning and it was here from Hong Kong by Wednesday. DHL screwed up and I still don't have it, but that isn't Official Time's fault. They don't make a single watch winder, but you never know, you might need more room! |

I had a wolf and returned it. My Ca would hit the glass when it wound, didn't matter which cushion I used. the Orbita futuras seem cool. |

Orbita is one of the best, and you pay for that, but I would many, many brands ahead of Wolf. All that said, as a quick search on here will tell you in any of the hundreds of threads on watchwinders that they are all hit and miss - and none of them offer particularly good value. |

I can vouch for the Official Time winder. I bought a six watch winder from them via Ebay, superb quality and fast delivery including a hand written card of thanks! Stef |

As quite a long term owner now, I only have good things to say about them. I'm actually thinking about buying another matching model to take care of future watch purchases!

Agreed, this is why I went with a winder from an (arguably) reputable company and purchased 3 of these: http://www.topperjewelers.com/watch_win ... _stackable At $200, it's all of the features that most will need, it doesn't break the bank, it's modular, and so far has worked well for me. I called Wolf Design because I had a few questions about the operation of the winders and I wanted the display feet for the modular system. They had great customer service and shipped the feet to me free of charge. |
