Out with the old...in with the new

My four-hole watch winder finally gave up the ghost last week {sound of Taps}. Picked up this new replacement on eBay for just $71.00 shipped! Just got it today and tried it out. Seems good so far, but my automatics are each about 20 pounds, so we'll see how long it lasts.

nice looking winder with a good slant to it. nice deal too.

Tom, I like the looks of that winder alot. I can't believe the price either! I'd say you got a darn good bargain! Good luck I hope it works out for you!

Winder? there was a winder in this thread? Pics please!

Keep us posted...

...I can't get a winder, Ron made me a box that is just TOO sweet NOT to use!



Oddly enough, only has 12 watches in it now...need to take a new GROUP shot... SORRY.

OUTSTANDING winder and box Tom !!! Look at that price too !
There is some NICE space on the bottom also. Good luck, congratulations,
and ENJOY it sir !..Alan..AMAZING box there as well ! Just a TREMENDOUS
job by Ron on that ! It's even got a bunch of Zodiacs in there still !

Shit, Alan, that's not a "box," that's a friggin' coffee table.


BTW, nice winder Tom. Extra storage is always nice.

Great winder tom, i've got a bunch of them and every multi winder i have at least one of the heads doesnt work!! Pisses me off but what you gonna do? 12 of 16 heads work on 3 multi units (4,6,6) and about 8 singles and only 4 of them work! SWI i've had the most trouble with!Now to Alan, that is the sickest box ever! Ron has got to be one of the most talented guys on the planet!

. . . I like that Tom. The storage is great. For that kind of money it is a hell of a buy. I have one of the 3-heads from UpscaleTime, paid like . .. . $99 . . . for it . . .

. . . . this one . . .

I have a similar winder I got from ebay. Here's what I learned. Take the pillows out and gently pull on the winder head, it should pop out as it's a snap in cover that attaches to the winder head base. You'll see a screw that holds the winder base in place. Unscrew that and add a drop of super glue or lock tite to the threads and reinsert. The screw tends to loosen up. Also, be sure that you always have 2 watches on the turntable. If you are wearing one, throw another in there even if it's a quartz. The off balance weight will wear out the gear. If you do these things it should last a while. I've had mine for going on 3 years. One turn table fried and that's how I learned how to avoid that from happening.
