Not working after 3 months. I think this is the normal life of this winder. But this model doesn't "over wind" I posted the manual on the link to my web site.

Update: mine broke after 3 months... the motor died

Nice review, but why would purchase a 'budget; winder when you can clearly afford one that is of much higher quality. The combined value of the two watches alone is $7000. Why would you take that chance?

nice winder but dayam, those are some humongous watches! I don't like having that much metal hanging off my wrist.

@nikoncmk update: you suck

[imbroglios]

Is it still working? I am looking to buy one at the moment. I've got an Omega, a Rolex and a Glycine. I can't believe how expensive these things are. Not only that, but if you buy the wrong kind, it can OVERWIND and ruin your watches. :-(

mine broke after 2 months, good thing costco has a perfect return policy will not buy this again.
