This one for me.
paul. :D
Good god looking at the inner movements of those watches is breath taking, that to me is artwork at its best!!
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
This one is still going strong...
Much of my "collection" is military, so mostly hand wound.
Of the non-mil ones, this is a beauty:
Heuer Monaco 73633G. I just love to wind this baby.
Just these two at the minute
+1 on the PRS-5. Has been my every day watch for a few months now.
Cheers :)

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.
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.

My only hand wind...
it really is beautiful watching a hand wound movement through the looking glass :)
I have a few manual winders, nothing special just a few of old ones and this one which is a bit special to me.
I'd call that Lemania very special! Lovely.Originally Posted by pastrana72
I like new and shiny modern stuff, ao here they are :lol:
I think this one is a manual wind also... :lol:
All three of the beauties love being hand wound.
Nice. 8)
Plus.. I have another hand-winder imminent tomorrow.
That'll be even more winding heaven.
This unfortunately was stolen :(
Only one of mine is hand wound ...
Just this little one:
Just this one at the moment which contains a certified chronometer, Lemania 1873 movement.

500,000 lira, you're a rich man mate :D
One of my all time favourites - my Nomos Club:
Always ready to go - and no date to have to fiddle about with. A definite case of 'less is more'.
A couple of Autavias:
"A man of little significance"
Eddies finest
My Dad's finest!
I really miss that beautiful Incursore.
Very nice indeed and my modern version, my only hand winder.Originally Posted by witti

\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
I'm on a budget at the moment so -
1x Bitza (redialed chinese case & movement) / and the original Railway Timekeeper pocket watch
Another NOMOS - this time an Orion

Love winding this, then watching it come alive from the front.
Nice bit of thread resurrection - can update to say I now also have this little one...Originally Posted by fiddler69
