Does anyone know anything about winding boxes? which one I should buy what direction should it turn for Breitlings? and so on. FYI I just bought my first Breitling, a Super Avenger and it has not been off my writs since I got it sized. What a fantastic watch. I don't know if I even want to get a box because it is most likely not coming off my wrist. But in the unlikely even it will need to be kept in style. Any thoughts?

You will need the winder to rotate your watch in a clockwise position, and I believe it needs 800 TPD.

Congrats on the watch and :welcome: .

My head hurts now - beating it against the brick wall :wink:

At the OP - there are hundreds of threads here on watchwinders and I guarantee that any question that you may have will have been answered half a dozen times in those. As John123 has told you a Super Avenger requires 800 turns per day clockwise.

I have found everything I needed on this site except direction and number of rotations. Now I have that info. Thanks.

How about this one?
http://www.amazon.com/Watch-Rotator-944 ... bs_watch_8

I can't see myself spending 100+ on a winding box. I don't need it to be fancy, I dont need a brand name. Just something functional. thanks!

$100 gets you out of the worst of the worst - below that it is cheap Chinese stuff that may last a year or two, but may break after one day.

More importantly, these cheap ones have constant motors - no rest periods and at this price point likely no programming of speed. I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot pole.

The numeorus threads already here talk about the preferred brands of watchwinders and what features to look for.
