Watch Winder:Choosing a Winder for Panerai and Breitling Watches.
Panerai and Breitling Watches tend to be both Large and Heavy. (Please note that Panerai Manual Wind watches can not be wound by even the Orbita Sempre Winder. Due to the trademarked winder stem protector of the Panerai.) Panerai Automatics can be wound with the winders on this page. Smaller less expensive winders typically fail with these heavy watches. If you have a real Panerai or Breitling you must use a more substantial (expensive) winder than most other watch brands. Due to the flooding of the luxury watch market with Fakes and Replicas it is hard to get recommendations correct for people. Simply put if you paid $5,000 or more for your watch, these winders are the only ones that will work, if you paid $100, you do not have a real watch and probably a fake winder or gadget winder will work well for you.
