I need a winder for a Rolex. Which one should I choose?
OK, I am going to compliment Rolex here. (Some of my customers will not like me writing this and my Breitling customers may balk at this...but here goes.) I think Rolex makes an unbelievable automatic watch! The basic Rolex perpetual mechanism does a wonderful job of winding efficiently. The majority of Rolex watches need Bi-directional/both directions, clockwise and counter clockwise rotation winding. In other words, they wind rather easily. Most of our winders are factory pre-set for this watch series. The Rolex rotor works well with both the high end Orbita Sienna or Monaco Winders series and the low end Orbita Sparta Series.
The Compact Box winder is a favorite of mine. Rolex also does well with the Eilux Cubic Series of Winders and the larger Triple or Double Winders. Rolex set the standard for automatics! The Rolex Daytona,However, is a little bit trickier to maintain with a winder. Rolex Daytona requires a Bi-Directional movement but with more TPD. (Turns Per Day.) Rolex Daytona needs up to 950 TPD depending on the winder.
