I recieved a Wolf winder as a promotion when I purchased my Chrono Matic. I have never owned one and didn't see the use. I did a little experiment this week. I wound fully and set my SOH and Chrono matic to my computer clock. I put the SOH in the drawer and the Chrono matic on the winder. A day or so later I checked the watches and the Chrono Matic was only a few seconds off. The SOH was noticably less accurate. I changed watches. I put the SOH on the winder and the Chrono in the drawer. The results were the same. The watch on the winder was more accurate after a couple days. I did wind the drawer watch daily in each case. Hummmm? Anyone else have this result? I think I will look into another winder or two.

I've found the same thing too, all of mine are much more accurate after being kept on a winder, in fact one initially lost 4 seconds but has held at that now for 2 weeks!

I wouldn't be without it now!

I posted a similar result about my Steelfish a while back. How many 'Lings do you have to buy to get a winder as a promo?

Depends on your relationship with your AD.

It was part of a watch fair offer. My AD has all the watch reps in and they show the new watches in their lines.
