I've done some looking around here for info on a 4 watch winder and have discovered two things:

Some winders are better for higher end watches and need to be set to wind a certain way

An attractive wood 4 watch wainer will cost around $700

How much of what I wrote above is true andwhat other input dontou guys have? I guess if you're putting $3000+ watches in it then paying $700 for a winder is chump change but Im hoping there a deal or two out there that I'm missing.

Thanks for all youre help

JMHO....spend the 700 bucks on a watch, I personnaly see no benifit to a winder unless you are putting some kind of perpetual calendar moon phase on it....again JMHO!!!

Yea as my winders die I find myself not bothering to replace them. My Orbita winders will likely hold out awhile but the low cost stuff well I have not had one last 3 years yet. So..... :?

You should be able to find a decent one on Ebay.  If you can, buy one with a motor for each watch.  I own this one and it's pretty good (no affiliation with the seller). 



There's a six watch winder also.  Just search Ebay for watch winder

I agree, save you $ for a watch

I have been told that the best winders are made by Wolf Designs and have an entry level one branded for Invicta. You should look into how many rotations per day your movement(s) require and make sure that you buy the proper winder or a winder that allows you to select the correct programing.
