Thanks goes to breitlingsource for his review his Orbita winder here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPNwG2MDunc Was looking at a bunch of winders varying from some cheapos from ebay to some of the more expensive offerings from Orbita. I really liked the ones offered by Brookstone and Wolf Design, but Orbita just had too strong of a record in quality winders. I also love their Sparta series and their winding mechanism. The Sparta Mini was just at a good enough price for me to grab one. Although Orbita released the mini to be a ladies watch winder, it seems to handle my Breitling Montbrillant Legende just fine. And at 47mm, it's nowhere close to a ladies watch. Keeps it nicely wound and I don't have to worry about turns per day or clockwise vs. counter-clockwise. Really gentle winder, takes about 4 minutes to load up and then it lets gravity do the rest. Then starts all over in 10 minutes. Absolutely silent. And comes with a 5 year warranty too! No worries about this one crapping out in 6 months. Here is the video I made (you can skip to about the 4 minute mark to really see how it works): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ppTmo4Wzbk I did notice that the review wound up pretty quickly compared to mine. I wonder why is there a difference.... |

What I'd like to know is roughly how long a set of batteries last in a batt only winder? |

Getting an orbita to wind 6 watches is gonna be pretty expensive anyways. I have read good things about these winders: http://www.buywatchwinders.com/compact- ... p-175.html Powered by one outlet, you can stack these winders as you get them. |

Thanks for the link. It can be 6 winder as long as they are small and can live 2 high or something. I could do with batt and outlet powered really |
