    I have two Eddie hand-winders, a PRS-5 and a 29B, the 5 (not seen much on the forum these days) is this one.





    I also have a couple of Speedies.

    My only hand-winder these days 8)




    The PRS-5 is definitely worth a mention, brilliant watch for very little money 8)

    I think IANAN's was mine at some point :D

    Much of my "collection" is military, so mostly hand wound.

    Of the non-mil ones, this is a beauty:

    Loved my speedies, sadly now all gone. Got a fantastic cal 89 IWC dress watch and a hand wound Rolex oyster precision still though.

    This is my favourite hand windy though, lovely and smooth with the big crown. Very therapeutic.

    Re: The fun in winding you up...

    Here's a couple of mine




    The Seiko is a particular favourite with an early hi-beat movement, a gorgeous white dial, and a real feeling of stored up energy when you wind it.

    The Rolex has a completely different feel when winding, much smoother with less of a machinery feel to it and a decent sized crown.

    Despite their age both still do regular service as dress watches.

    regards

    I have a few manual winders, nothing special just a few of old ones and this one which is a bit special to me.

    \My beloved Speedy just back from having its bezel back on.


    This is my GrandFathers old watch, I received it a few months ago and had it serviced. After service it still lost two minutes a day so I regulated it myself (eek) and it's now accurate! I cleaned the crystal and put a cheap strap on it and it's brilliant.


    One of my collection of vintage Timex watches. Got this from my Father in Law as it was one of his old watches which had lain in a drawer for donkeys years unworn. Gave it a quick wind and away it went. Brilliant things Timex watches, got half a dozen and they all run as well as the day they were new and I haven't had one of them serviced
