Looking at buying a watch winder, anything I should avoid or look out for?

I had a Rapport one which was nothing but trouble, got a Wolf one now which is absolutely superb

Had my new Mr.Jones design a few days now, had to buy it as I've got the Chinioserie already and this was a follow up piece for it, absolutely love it and its really grown on me. Apologies for the stock image but I've tried taking a photo of it and its almost impossible

Omega back with Omega as I noticed the hour hand wasn't aligned with minute hand like Hedge's Rolex... Was like that from day 1 but didn't notice it, but once noticed I couldn't not notice it

if I'd noticed on day 1 I could've just rejected it.

rG-tom - Can you confirm if it's this model 215.30.44.21.01.001

Yup that's the one

Has anyone had experience of Geckota watches? Really like their C1 Racing Chrono but they seem expensive for a bit of an unknown brand.

What is a good alternative (reasonable between £500 to £1,000) to the IWC Portuguese with a white face and blue dials?

That? You can get that for sub £5k, just put a couple of weddings ££ to the side and get the one you actually want !

Or some of the Christopher Ward watches draw inspiration

Or the Hamilton pioneer auto chrono is quite close

The Longines Master collection has a number of pieces with a white dial and blue hands.

I like that.

What about something by Ball, i like quite a few of these. I won't point out anything specific as there a few choices in blue there.

Maybe slightly over budget but they can be had cheaper if you look around.

Yeah, that one but looks different in this photo, I think its just the shadows.

I am buying/bought 2 x 5D4 at the moment so that's £5k+ right there! On top of a £1k bill for my car this week (MOT, brakes, Tax for the year), so closer to £500 the better. The CW one is my favourite so far but nothing come close to the IWC though.

Just want a dress watch to compliment my Steinhart Diver.

Housey · 12 Feb 2017 at 16:21

I have the black version (here next to one of my wife's watches)

Currently with IWC in New Bond Street, will probably flip it when I get it back

Participant · 12 Feb 2017 at 16:57

IWC are the nicest (vaguely accessible) dress watches.

mrk · 12 Feb 2017 at 17:01

I don't like how the 6 and 12 are chopped in half.

Raymond Lin · 12 Feb 2017 at 17:05

I really like this.

Only £220 odd, sapphire glass, automatic movement, 50m water resistance. Cheap enough to worth a shot, if I don't like it I can get something around £1k mark and its not too much of a hit.

djcj · 12 Feb 2017 at 17:23

That looks like quite a chunky case for a dress watch!

Housey · 12 Feb 2017 at 17:32

I've really gone off the wrist bling from 20 years ago, it just looks dated and to in your face. I bought this in 1999 and to my eyes it's just dated so badly. I know how I loved it at the time, but now is far to ostentatious for my liking. Getting it serviced, fixed and then going to sell it.

Raymond Lin · 12 Feb 2017 at 23:17

I have never been a fan of Breitling, like you said, find them too bling.

hughtrimble · 13 Feb 2017 at 00:55

Thought about any white faced Skagens? I can't speak for their watches as I've never owned one, but they look like they might have the watch face look you're after.
