    I have two spots open (bottom right is a crappy quartz).

    I think a Rolex Submariner in SS for the automatic. I am looking for a vintage GUB Glashutte cal 70.1 that was the inspiration for the Senator Sixties. I also want a Minerva cal 49.

    I spent my watch money for the year so I am just window shopping.

    I am guessing you did not get a comparable Orbita due to cost. Is it safe to say that an Orbita this size would cost about twice as much?

    A comparable Orbita would have been around $1900 (Monaco 3). They are much nicer, no question, but 4x the price.

    Keep an eye out for Orbita...
    I just got a memo from Orbita (last week) about some new winders coming out, still made in the USA and priced right where they should be :)

    Well If they really are they will do a very brisk business. Any idea on what they might sell for?

    I had to bump this up. My luxupak winder took a crap today. One winder spins constantly and the other 2 don't work at all. I contacted the vendor today. I will keep you guys posted as to how they handle the warrenty claim.

    I got a $50 winder off of eBay. Not bad looking for the money -- but rather noisy motors.

    I'd like to step up to a better quality winder at some point, but don't want to spend "silly" money for an Orbita.
    How quiet is the Luxupack in operation ?

    I bought one of the wolf designs single winders from chris and the newest version is dead quiet. I highly recommend it!
