Does anyone have a recommendation for a watch winder?

Want to get one that holds two watches at once but read so many variable reviews online that I don't know where to start!

+1 on Wolf Designs. Picked this up on Amazon recently. Good storage option for the weekly rotation. :smokin
Amazon product ASIN B0055OCVFI

Yes. Also luggage and some other items. I believe they are a lowered price/quality than Swiss army. Also may have an affiliation with Swiss Army hence the same kinda logo

Wenger are one of only 2 companies to hold the license to make Swiss Army knives and they also specialise in watches. They are a fairly niche brand in Europe but do have a pretty good reputation. They also make everything from luggage to tents to kitchenware to rifle bayonets.
 
This over the Oris. Dexter Gordon pretty much the Artelier in a different colour. Lots more to choose from for $5,000 discounted, though :tongue: :lol:

Ooh... surprise Grand Seiko clearance sale ongoing at ADs at the moment (in light of the Grand Seiko rebranding). :nerd: :D

Any word on approximate release date on the Hamilton? They website has said "available soon" for a while now
 
Am I the only one who can't justify dropping over $6,000 for a Seiko?

$6,000? yes. But there are discounts to be had at the moment. Will have a better understanding this week :wink:

Can't justify dropping $2,000 for a Hamilton, though. :lol:

Most Basel releases come out mid-to-late summer. A handful of the new Grand Seikos come out next month.

My favourite Baselworld 2017 release:
Zenith-Chronomaster-El-Primero-Grande-Date-Full-Open-6.jpg


45mm though... The 42mm El Primero wears massive on my 7" wrist as it is.

I'm rollin w/ the Patek Squelette that I can't afford:

39mm is nice, 36ish would be nicer

Grand Seiko has been impressive as of late. Presage line is very attractive as well, so as the price point and movement.

I'd go with the sub, cleaner and more classic.

Can't go wrong with either one though.
 
+1 on the Sub. Easier to flip and retains better value... if you don't mind being one of the 1237432734982384 people who own one. Just like the Speedmaster (just getting that out of the way :lol: )

Both are classics. Much prefer the design of the Submariner.

^ Read a few reviews and they can be used underwater.

The only thing holding me back from the Sub is that everyone has it. As for the JLC, what's holding me back is that I already have two other chronographs.
 
A lot of people has the Sub but I can honestly say I do not run into many people wearing them.

Most Rolex owners that I run into here wear Subs and Datejusts. Although it's interesting to note that I've seen 3 people with BLNRs (5 with GMT Master IIs total - 4 clients and 1 random guy at the bank) in two days. Found it quite odd. :lol:
