hey guys, looking to get a new watch winder to handle my expanded collections, kinda have my eyes set on the modular Boxy, wonder if anyone using them?

the other question i have, looking through their manuals, their higher priced ones can go all the way up to 3600 TPD, is there a watch that actually needs so many TPD :shock:

looking through wolf's TPD database, seems like majority are within the range of 600-800 TPD

If you haven't already read it, then this thread is a good place to start on winders -

viewtopic.php?f=6&t=23867

In terms of 3600 tpd, then personally I've never come across any watch that would need so many. 650 - 800 is usually the norm for keeping most movements wound. I can only think they give the option for "fast winding"..., but then there's nothing faster than using your fingers so it seems a bit redundant.

Not used Boxy myself - Orbita Rotorwind have been my go-to winders for years now.
