![]() The rear of the carries are spring loaded to accept most watches.īecause the carriers are spring loaded, it's easy to put them in and out of a watch with a closed bracelet. The carriers have removable heads for larger watches, which make the carries more difficult to remove, but can keep larger watches from flopping around in there. They are easy to install and remove, but make a cheap plastic sounding click, making it difficult for me to remove my watch quietly in the morning when my wife is sleeping. The plastic carriers for the watches snap into place. The switches are of acceptable quality, and it looks nice and understated. If you handle it up close, you can tell that it is made of cheap plastic. The winder looks to be of high quality from a distance. I think the photos can speak for themselves, I won't describe the appearance of the winder in great detail. Please do not turn this into a debate of whether or not watch winders are needed I'm just giving feedback on this product for those who have decided that they want a watch winder. The reason that I wanted this is because I keep it on my night stand next to the bed, and the vertical one has a smaller foot print. ![]() I chose this particular model, because it was the cheapest double watch winder available, and it has a vertical orientation. I'd rather have the minimal extra wear of having the watch running slightly longer.īecause of a this, a double winder was be perfect. I almost always wear it every other day, but occasionally I let it run down. I just want to keep it running without risking damage to the threads on the crown, or making a mistake adjusting the date mechanism, etc. ![]() Especially with the Omega, it's so accurate that I don't need to adjust the watch preiodically. Recently I received an Omega as a gift, and decided to slim my collection to a smaller group of watches that have more meaning to me, meaning that I had only two automatics and a few quartz watches. I put off buying a winder for a long time, partially because I had a collection of many automatic watches. This same winder is also sold under a few different brand names and on ebay. The four programmed timer settings are: (1) The turntable will rotate clockwise for one minute, then rest of 20 minutes, then repeat which provides a total of 650 TPD (2) The turntable will rotate counter-clockwise for two minutes, then rest of 28 minutes, then repeat which provides a total of 900 TPD (3) The turntable will rotate counter-clockwise for 3 minutes then rest for 27 minutes, then the turntable will rotate clockwise for 3 minutes then rest for 27 minutes, then repeat which provides a total of 1350 TPD (4) The turntable will rotate clockwise for 10 minutes then rotate counter-clockwise for 10 minutes (this will repeat for 1 hour), then rest for seven hours, then repeat which provides a total of 1800 TPD.About a month or so ago, I purchased the Diplomat double watch winder from Amazon. It is powered by a very silent Japanese Mabuchi motor that features four programmed settings (650, 900, 1350, or 1800 TPD) which prevents the winder from over-winding or straining the internal mechanisms of the watch. This Diplomat Gothica 31-424 black double watch winder will make your favorite timepieces ready to wear anytime.
