Anyone putting their BO1 on a watchwinder. Im considering buying a watchwinder but dont know which one to get, looking for a good quality winder, one that wont stress my watch, one that is relatively quiet,and one that is easy to use. Anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

The usual rule of thumb when it comes to watch winders applies here too. If you buy cheap, make sure it's programmable, bi-directional and incorporates rest periods in the cycle. You also don't want something that rotates too fast. Additionally if you buy cheap make sure you don't expect it to last forever. The whole watch-winder industry is a total rip-off in my opinion, but I still use them myself for convenience.

Do a search on the forum for watch winders as there are a whole bunch of threads on the subject.

I can not recommend my Orbita Sparta Mini highly enough. Winds anything and don't have to worry about any settings.

Bellino isn't a make, it's a model from Orbita, and yes Orbita make very good quality winders. Bellino is entry level for them, but still good quality,

My Mini doesn't. But the Deluxe reviewed here does. I just didn't care enough to spend the extra $$$ for a cover.

Another possibility is SwissKubik. They have a great range of products ranging from single to multiple winders and materials ranging from leather to wood in many different colors.

They make Orbitas look cheap, and if I remember correctly you have to pay extra for the software / usb cable to program them.
