Very cool! What’s the size? Did you have that converted yourself? Story time.

commented on Watches 101: Should I buy a watch winder ? ·

This is basically why I haven’t pulled the trigger on one yet. If I can remember I just pull it out of the box and shake it a bit so it’s at least not so far off when I want to wear it again, but if it’s a good 2 weeks out, then it’s another 2 weeks before it re-enters rotation! 😂

commented on Watches 101: Should I buy a watch winder ? ·

Ok piggy backing on this. I have a vintage Rolex that doesn’t have quickset date, meaning I have to manually turn through every single day to catch up to the most recent date, which is a pain as I like to rotate between watches.

The convenience of a winder is obvious, but the vintage nature gives me pause.

Thoughts / opinions?

Those red accents! 🔥

The zero hour you mean? If so, I thought that, too, but there’s a small club. Hamilton, Universal Geneve, Avi-8. I’m sure there are others. The Big Zero is probably the most iconic, in my opinion.

No worries! Good luck on your search!
