| strap: $30.
Can't stand the idea of spending more that a few 10ers on straps. Just ain't worth it for me so far. | |

| Believe it or not, haven't gotten any of these accessories yet ! Did buy a watch storage case, winder, and tools for my brother though. Storage case was around $100, winder was the same price, and the tools were around $50 !..Definitely need to get some accessories at some point I guess ! ____________________________________

| Thanks Trev and Doc. I'm happy, plus didn't have to pay MSRP, other wise I'd probably have ended up with a bunch of cheapies spread across the homestead. But my wife likes it too, as she stores some of her watches in the top section. I also have a couple of other winders (one of them I "won"), but they weren't as much.

I also have a couple of other winders (one of them I "won"), but they weren't as much. I've got a couple single Wolf winders that have storage on top for two watches, just like yours but singles and they are much more quite and they sent me a free one when I was having troubl with my maurice lacroix wolf winder and let me keep it since it was the case the watch came in. I didn't even have to show them a reciept, they just asked for my address and the next day had the new winder! Great company!! |

| Yep, my original Wolf (brown leather, no longer made just black now) one of the three motors started to squeak, so I sent them an email, then went by and dropped it off, since they have an office less than 30 miles away. I had the receipt, but they didn't need it. They shipped me a new one, that day from the warehouse, and it arrived one day later. Pretty good CS, for sure. I could theoretically use one more single, and it will probably be a Wolf, because of their CS, and my AD sells them. |

| If we're not counting watchmaking tools, then it was about $15 for a zulu strap. If we are counting watchmaking tools, I want to plead the fif. |
