Which watch winder should you buy to wind your Rolex watch?Depends on which Rolex you have:
The other day a customer called and asked me which watch winder was best for his Rolex?
I talked to him a bit about watch winders and how they work and how an automatic watch works etc. Then turns out he says, "oh it was a fake Rolex"!
This is like say, buying a Porsche from the junk yard with a bad engine, replacing the engine with a Chevy and calling the car a Porsche, sure it looks like a Porsche and maybe even has windows that wind down like a Porsche, and wipers that work like a Porsche, but when you step on the gas the truth is told! You do not have a Porsche!
Welcome to the land of the Fakes. How crazy. Look if you have a real watch you need to buy a real watch winder. Not a cheap fake watch winder like much of my competition sells. For most Rolex watches
the best watch winder is the Orbita Siena Watch Winder as a starting point in quality. If you pay too little for what appears to be a real Rolex or a real Orbita Watch Winder, just remember 2 things:
1. You get what you pay for.
2. Remember Barnum and Bailey? "There's a sucker born every minute."

Some interesting trivia about the above quote. It is not true, I mean Barnum did not actually say it first. Well, it was said and it was related to the great man of the circus the truth is it revolved around a lawsuit, dealing with, irony here, "Fakes" and a hoax.....
"Hannum brought a lawsuit against Barnum for calling his giant a fake. When it came to trial, Hull stepped forward and confessed that the Cardiff Giant was a hoax and the entire story. The judge ruled that Barnum could not be sued for calling Hannum's giant a fake since it was a fake after all. Thereafter, Hannum's name was lost to history while Barnum was left with the misplaced stigma of being the one to say "There's a sucker born every minute."" http://www.historybuff.com/library/refbarnum.html
Though, I would contend this to be a very true statement, at least when I look at the success some sites have in selling garbage winders, and the number of customers who admit to having wasted money on another knock off watch winder....or Rolex Automatic Watch...both will work for awhile, but they will not stand the test of time! But as you see, the truth often is obscured...
