| Post subject: | Watch winder for Navitimer 01 |
Hi, I have recently bought a Navitimer 01 and I want to buy a watch winder for it. There seems to be such a variety of makes and prices so I am confused. I looked on the Orbita site and it said my watch needed 800 tpd both ways. Does this mean I need 1600 so that it gets 800 turns each way? Can anyone recommend a suitable one around the £200 mark please? Thanks in anticipation Mike |

Brookstone watch winder. I've had mine for 5 years now, whisper quite and they've never failed me. I have the quad winder but they come in a single, double, and quad. Not sure if they are available overseas but look on ebay, you can get em cheaper on there. http://www.brookstone.com/automatic-dou ... 96p&catId= |

Brookstone are elusive in the UK. Wolf have a UK website (and forum sponsors AMJ now stock them). At c£200 I'd recommend http://uk.wolfdesigns.com/watch-winders/viceroy-single - which is multi-adjustable. On the TPD question, on nearly all winders 800 tpd would simply be set at 800 tpd clockwise, anti-clockwise, or bi-directionally (as Roff says), but on the 2.7 movement Wolfs (as in that link) it would be set at 400 bi-directionally. |

Thanks for all the info. You have suggested on the wolf viceroy that I set it at 400 bidirectional, but on the link you gave me it says in features "double the tpd for bidirectional. I also read on one of the forums that before you put the watch on the winder it should be wound 40 times, is this correct. Is there a limit to the amount of time you should leave the watch on the winder ? Thanks to everyone for your help Mike |

Thanks to everyone for your help Mike This thread is probably worth reviewing on winders in general - viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23867 TomP pointed out that the 2.7 is 'weird' in that it doubles the turns on bi-directional, so as it says in the link setting it for 400 bi-directional is 800 turns, unlike most others. You can set it for 800 CW or 800 CCW for the same result. |

Thanks Roff. I didn't realise this topic could be so mind boggling. What does the difference in numbers mean, eg 2.1, 2.7 and 4.1 ? |

You will be happy with that one. I have the Viceroy 2.7 and it is super quiet. I have my old Navi II winding in it at 800tpd and it keeps very close time on that watch when i am not wearing it. |
