User_Name: Margaret K.Question: Your website is great. I want to start out by thanking you for
teaching me about watch winders. I would like to order a watch winder for a Seiko Kinetics Titanium Sports 1000 mans watch. I believe it is a bi-directional winding watch, and it has some weight to it. Can you advise me which winders could be used for this watch?
I would like the winder to be as quiet as possible, have battery & ac/dc adapter, and look good too. Do you carry a winder that will meet my needs? I would want to purchase it as soon as possible - I'm hoping to have it as a Present.
I appreciate you help!

Answer:Magi,
Thanks for the complement, and I did not do a good job educating you!
Why? Because the watch you wish to buy is not an automatic watch!
Seiko Kinetics Titanium Sports....
Seiko uses slightly different technology, actually it is a major difference, but the principle of changing movement into a form of power supply is the same. The way it is done is different. I am not an expert on Seiko. I might be mistaken, this particular watch may be a true automatic, but I think not. Most Seiko are a hybrid automatic mechanical/electrical technology to put it in overly simple terms...If it is a true automatic it will not matter in the end the choices are the same.
Seiko Watches are hard to wind. Only 2 single winders do the job.
The
Orbita Sparta or the
Eilux cylinder Watch Winder. I will ask someone from the office to send you a picture of the winders from the website after the Thanksgiving break. It will likely get filtered into spam so check on Monday if you do not hear from us with an exact item suggestion for you to look at.
The Eilux has an adapter available for an extra $50 or so. The Orbita Sparta is battery powered, but the batteries will last you at least 2 years! Guaranteed.
Price? You will be spending about $250 on a winder to do the job...
The battery in the Eilux will do 6-8 months so the adapter is a good idea with it.
I am 100% certain the orbita Sparta models will work for you, and I am 95% sure the Eilux will work. (Seiko is hard to wind.) Other winders on the market do not work. Customers call and tell me, I have a Seiko and I tried such and such winder and it does not work for Seiko...
The more expensive Orbita Monaco Winder and Siena models will also work, but you will spend $500-$1500 on those, none of the cheaper winders will work on Seiko...
