    Watch winders

    Im sure watch winders will have been discussed a bit here at somepoint... but im not finding a lot of info about cheaper winders as im not really wanting to be spending £150+ on single winders..

    Anyway im wondering if anyone has had expierience with cheaper winders £80 -£100 dual winders or singles round about the £40 - £50 mark? If they are worth buying is it possible to get decent cheap ones that will last a few year?

    Amazon for the top pair - search time tutelary. £ 30-40 from memory.
    Google piccolo for the second type - about 80 quid a piece and a German seller on ebay for the larger last one, I think was around £ 120 shipped.

    I like the last one looks nice from that pic, its a bargain for 120. I guess il have a look on amazon at the first one and check that out. I only have 1 auto at the minute but il no doubt have my second in the next 2-3 month (at the most) :)
    Thanks for your help mate.

    I have a couple of Barrington single winders that I got used for around £50 each (they're £100 new). They're excellent and have been faultless.

    They're nice, plenty of space aswell for future purchases :) when i first seen the time tutelary stuff i assumed they wouldnt last very long, i guess i was wrong.

    I did look at the barrington ones they look good and seem to be good quality. I think it would have to be second hand if i was to be purchasing one though.

    I was worried that it wouldnt last long but thankfully it's been a good investment (i bet they break tomorrow!).

    The draw is handy for tools etc.

    I have another box for quartz watches.
