The Breitling Watch Source Forums

If you are speaking of the Eilux, my local jeweler ordered it for me. Mine holds three watches and has a little tray to hold watch bands, etc. Like I previously said, it runs 12 minutes every 2 hours I believe. You can adjust it to operate both directions or a single direction.

Is it just me, or do people "overthink" the watch winders...especially for high end pieces.

I mean, if I drop a few thousand dollars on a watch - shouldn't I just be able to wind it up once a month to keep the parts moving and have it last a lifetime?

I just got a new Panerai - and I own a BlackBird. I won't wear the Panerai as much as the Breitling - but I'm not worried about winding up my Panerai once a week (Breitling is my M-F watch and the Panerai is my weekend watch, date night watch with the wife, and special occasion watch.)

I want a new superocean to be my vacation watch and I'm not worried about winding it up once a month manually and wearing it once every few months.

I don't want to take away from suggestions, but seriously - don't people overthink this?

Well it's certainly a topic that seems to have a lot of questions - look at this, three pages and it's all been said before.

I personally would rather have my watches running so that I can just strap one on that appeals - when I am headed to work I can just grab one and go without having to set it - especially if it is perpetual / semi-perpetual or doesn't have a quick set date.

That said, I have a number of manual winds that I wind daily, and I don't always have enough winder slots for my automatics so wind some of them too - it's about 30 seconds or so per watch so no big deal.

More expensive is not meant to say the most expensive or high end . Just what it is , more expensive than the one GZGym1 mentioned earlier .

Having to set a perpetual calendar etc , every time you wear it is not exactly desired though . Ofcourse I agree , that winding a watch with few complications only is not a problem .

Sorry, didn't mean to imply that - I simply meant that the program that Rapport used wouldn't be the type of thing that the higher end manufacturers would use - I stated it badly.





That was my point - that's why I keep mine running.

No problem .
Agreed .
