A while back, I got an Official Time 2 watch winder. Very nice, totally happy. Now I have more watches. I could do one of two things:
1) Buy a second 2 watch winder.
2) Sell the 2 watch winder and buy a 4 watch winder.

What would you do?

I'd buy a second 2-way. It'll work out cheaper as you'll never get full retail trying to sell the 2-way you have. I think if you thinking about upsizing each time you run out of space you'll end up having to eventually buy a 12-way cabinet...... and that IS expensive!

Just add to what you have would be my advice.

Sound advice Driver, but here's some math I was thinking about:

Two Two Watch Winders:
2 x $367 = $734

One Four Watch and One Two Watch Winders:
$501 + $367 = $868

So, if I were to sell my existing winder for at lest $134 net, I would still come out ahead. My total outlay would be less. I would figure I could sell for ~$250 shipped/paypalled. So I'm still coming out ahead.

In that case, with respect, why are you asking?

Just to sound out my through process. Perhaps it is entirely rhetorical.
