Hi there,
I hope that this is the right section to ask about watch winders.
Has anyone had any experience with chinese made watch winders?
Thinking of purchasing this one (looks like the only type available on lelong).
http://www.lelong.com.my/auto-winder-watch-box-2-winders-4-6-shopperplanet-I1762756-2007-01-Sale-I.htm
Any feedback will be much appreciated. Buying to wind my Sub and Exp. They are seeing a lot less wrist time eversince my JLC Reverso purchase.
Thanks,
Colin

I have the 4+6. Got it about 6-7 months ago and it's still working fine.
Overall I think it's ok if you don't want to spend too much on winders. There are a few rotation settings. Finish is quite good, mine is piano black. A little noisy though..

Seems like the same but at half the price?

I prefer to see and test before buy it rather then just order online..

The vortex one the lid is more curvy compared to the lelong one..they give one year warranty and got shop ..actually if you go Aliexpress many over there..just risk of tax and warranty..

The only thing I'm worried when using chinese winder is magnetism. I'm worried the motor and mechanism could magnetized my watch.
-
Can bring paper clip to test..lol

I use small compass, so far no magnetism, but the rotation setting on chinese winder sometime I think could put too much stress on the mainspring. It turns non stop the whole day.
-
Update. I pulled the trigger on the 2 + 3 version. First looks seems well made.
Testing it right now with my Seiko Monaco. Spins about 10 turns per minute, which looks to me to be slightly on the fast side.
At the moment its completely silent. For RM245, if it continues working for a year, I will be pretty happy.

I have bought mine (4+ 6) from the CIMB Fiesta Exch. Unfortunately, one of the rotate motor spoiled right after the 3 months warranty period given by the seller. Too bad.

Yup. Mine came with only 1 month warranty! :mooning:
Thing is I can't bring myself to purchase a Wolf or Orbita, which cause 4 figures for an equivalent winder. Will try my luck with this one first.

I will consider Wolf or Orbita only if I manage to get my dream watch: PP. ;D ;D
-
I've calculated the number of turns per day for this winder, and its a whopping 3600 TPD over 24 hours!
A rolex only needs about 650 TBD according to the Orbita site.
This makes me think that I should have ponied up for a proper winder.....
I will be turning this winder on when I get back from work and off before i sleep......
-
I thought it has several modes where it can stop and then continue?

Got mine 2+3 about 7 months ago. Just overed the warranty period but so far still working fine. Hopefully can use for another year at least

Looks like i got short changed with 1 month warranty.
Does yours have a brand of sorts?
-
Would it be bad for the watch if we let it just keep turning for months without wearing it?

Go for Orbita...you will not regret it....very well built winder... Solid wood with nice lacquer finishing and fine suede on the inside... And a nice rotorwind technology....

Great to hear! Does yours turn at around 10rpms and have 4 modes? Watch for overwinding....
-
No mine is the more basic one. Just an on off button. Turns clockwise for 5mins, rests for 15mins, then counterclockwise for another 5mins, rest 15mins and repeats again.
Winds pretty slow...
I have a JLC master geographic with a power reserve comp as my guide whether it over winds or not.
I think it should be ok... *cross fingers*

When you have the time, would you mine counting how many rotations per minute it does? Interested to see if its the same speed as mine. At the moment, I have mine on for about 4 hours a day. Seems like its keeping my rollies alive.

Hey buddy, it's about 6.5 rotations per minute. So it goes for about 5mins each time which means approx 32 rotations.
Hope that helps!
-
I just got one cheap one 2+3.. Doing 2 mins and stop for 6 mins..hope it last..
-
Even if it didn't last, to the very least it will then serve as a watch display box. Not a total waste after all.
-
A bulky watch display..lol..nevertheless it gets the job done..Boxy and Wolf so ex just for a single motor

Cheers! Thanks for the info. It's still a whopping 2304 Turns per day if my calculations are right.....
-
Just get it turn on during the night will do..min power reserve at least 48 hours for an automatic watch..this will also prolong the life span of the motor..
-
You can also try to use battery. The rpm will go down as it is not 5v anymore..

I got the one from Lelong (4+6) about a year back, very happy with it and bought another as a gift for a friend (2+3). However, because of my old Rolex, which is uni-directional winding, it does not wind sufficiently often as my power reserve will be spent after 2 weeks plus in the winder (of course, if I wear it, then it is ok). The other watches are ok so I think it is not "over-winding".

How long does the battery last in average?

I got mine from a shop in Subang, found them through mudah, for around RM 150 if I'm not mistaken. I've been using it for more than a year now, leaving it switched on everyday.
Touch wood, it's still going strong & for the low price, no fears of getting a new one if broken but not so soon hopefully.

I can't seem to find the shop back on mudah, hence, didn't post it the first time around.
Perhaps you can have at look at these instead, in Groupon:

Mine is still working. My two rollies are on it for about 4 hours a day. Touch wood but still working......
I run it using Eneloop batteries and it goes for about a month before needing a recharge.
-
I have used China-made winder 6+9 for more than 2 years. No issue so far.
Watches are fine too.
-
Cool,I would get one asap for my self.now have to manual wind the automatics.sounds funny haha
-
something strange has started happening past several weeks with my sub and exp on the winder.
I generally wind it about 4 hours a day on the winder, but both watches have started to just stop after 5 days on the winder (even after being wound for about 4 hours a day). What is even stranger is that when I attempt to wind the watches they feel like they have been nearly or fully wound already! Anyone experienced similar situation? I will continue to monitor and update.
-
I have put my Seiko Presage SARY055 into a single slot China made watch winder for 2 month, now the watch stop running in about 28 hours after I have fully winded, supposedly the watch will run for 40 hours. Sigh. Will get the watch inspected when I am free.
-
Over wind? Hmmm..if regular hand movement won't over wind the watch?
-
It could be magnetized or overwind, but I guess my Seiko has mechanism to prevent over-wind because it is a modern movement (Seiko 4R36 caliber), many articles and forum has discussed where I have read, see how anyway.
-
I bought one from China two months ago. No issue so far

I got one today from Voxtera in puchong. Just search in Waze and you'll find the place, it's before Tesco coming from USJ. They have a few choices from pu leather to wooden box and from 2 to 8 Winders. Paid about rm 500 for the boxy 2+3 with 1 year warranty. The pu leather is cheaper at rm200+ but it won't be as durable as wood. It turns 10rpm with 4 settings. The 4th setting goes 10min clockwise and 10min anti clockwise for 3 hours, stops for 9 hours and repeats. I guess an hour is sufficient for watches that requires 650 tpd (eg. Rolex) for full wind.

Yes, that's the name. It's a warehouse and the office is inside. They deal with premium gifts, online shopping, and TV marketing. After paying for the winder, a customer came with a 8 watch winder for warranty claim/repair. At least I'm assured they provide warranty :-)

The winder brand sell by them is Boxer, if not mistaken. They have more choices in Atria outlet.
