Diplomat Burgundy Single Watch Winder with Integrated IC Timer

EzD: Mejor de lo que esperaba, un poco más grande de lo que pensaba, silencioso y con 4 modos, mantiene mis relojes automáticos cargados siempre.

hexedd: I bought this because I got annoyed with always having to wind my kinetic watch, and it's completely fixed that issue for me.

It's made of plastic but still looks pretty nice, and I like that it has a clear plastic cover so that the watch doesn't get dusty if it sits on there for a few days or longer. It's also relatively small and can easily fit on the corner of a desk or night table. The four settings are great and work quite well regardless of the type of watch you put on it. I use the 9 hour and rest setting (9 hours of turning and then it rests for 9 hours, then repeats). It also makes almost no noise at all; in fact I can't ever recall noticing it except for the first time I put my ear right up to it to see if it did.

Overall it's a great little winder for the cost, and so long as it lasts me at least a year I'll be happy and definitely buy another (though hopefully it lasts at least double that long).

Jonathan: Compré este winder para el primer reloj automático que tuve. Al principio, como todos alguna vez, buscaba algo de un precio relativamente más alto ya que tiendo a creer que más caro es mejor. Al ver el bajo precio de este winder en comparación con muchos otros obviamente sentí dudas, mismas que se disiparon completamente en cuanto lo recibí. No hace nada de ruido, se ve muy muy bonita y cumple perfectamente su función. No tengo ni una sola queja y en verdad es un producto excelente.

Kimberly Galea: I am very happy with my SECOND watch winder. The first one that came was broken, but I returned it without any hassle and before I knew it there was another one here. It works wonderfully. I have never had any other kind of watch winder, I have read where some are noisey. Well it does make some noise, but I keep it in another room. It keeps my watch running for when I wear it. I do have very small wrists and I did have to put something in between my watch and the holder to keep my watch in place, but that isnt a problem for me.

Stephen D. Ferris: Yes, it's plastic - but it's understated and not at all unattractive for what it is.

For my watch (a 46 year old Rolex 'Datejust' that is still going strong) - it's perfect. I see that some purchasers with large watches have said it may not be ideally sized for such timepieces, but it seems to me the watch would have to be 'huge' for this to be an issue.

The watch holder is constructed such that, when the clasp or band is closed on the removeable watch holder, a compressible spring accommodates the wrist size by moving a plastic pad in or out to maintain sufficient pressure on the band / watch (from the 'inside'), ensuring the watch stays in place.

A word about operation. The switch is a three position slide type: center off, with rotation clockwise when moved one way and counterclockwise when moved the other.

During any single winding "session" the winder rotates the watch head in one direction only, and I was initially concerned about that (during normal wearing of a watch on one's wrist, the internal winding mechanism rotates alternately clockwise / counterclockwise according to how the watch wearer's wrist moves - evening out...

Sebastian Grove: I own a Porsche design watch and decided to purchased this winder since this watch was not able to survive over the weekend without use.
After opening the box, the winder feels cheap (it is actually the cheapest model...) due to its plastic enclosure. After fitting the watch in and turning it on, and it started to turn, seemed fine. Unfortunatelly the 1 hour of turning and 3 hours of resting was not enough and my watch ended up stopping, the winder could not do its job.
The winder does not offer any option to change this operation pattern.
After 5 minutes of analisys decided to open up the winder to figure out how to change the working pattern and make it turn continuously. Here is what I did...
(1) take the fron cover by pulling it back, no screws just pull it.
(2) behind this front cover there are 6 screws, take them out.
(3) softly pull the whole engine and watch base out of the case.
(4) you will find a small circuit with a chip in it, this is the board that control the work / rest cycle. There are two cables that connect to this board, one from the on/off switch and the other to the winder engine. Unpplug this cables from the board and...

Denzil Minyard: I have 4 automatic watches and 2 (2 watch) winders for them. I recently purchased my 5th Invicta Pro Diver and needed a single watch winder. I have ordered from Amazon several times and have always like their good prices on everything I have purchased. I ordered the Diplomat winder. When I opened the box, I was very impressed by its quality. The instructions were very easy to follow. My other winders are very good and work well. However, one couldn't call them quiet. The Diplomat is extremely quiet. It is on a bookcase just a few feet from my desk. It is so quiet that I have to check if it's running. If you have one automatic watch, I would wholeheartedly recommend the Diplomat. It works well and is also an attractive accessory. I have an Invicta Offshore Diver watch that is 47mm in size and very heavy. My other winders couldn't turn it fast enough to keep the watch from losing time. Since I started using this winder for the Invicta, it keeps excellent time. I recommend it if you have large, heavy watches
Finally, I simply have to endorse Amazon's prices and the quality of merchandise one can purchase through Amazon's website. I have ordered several books from...
