Question: I received a Sharper Image winder for a birthday present. Apparently my Rolex watch is too heavy for the winder because it knocks when swinging on one direction. After reading your literature, I'm interested in the
Sparta Open 1 Winder-Black Leatherette (OR/W05103/W1). http://www.watchcases.com/sp1blwawi.html
1.) Is this a good winder choice for the Rolex?
2.) Will the watch be enclosed?
3.) What are the dimensions of the winder?
Answer(s):1.) Is this a good
winder choice for the Rolex? Maybe it depends on the Rolex model. Read below for explanation. You never told us the movement and model of your Rolex. It may not work if your watch is truly a heavy watch.
2.) Will the watch be enclosed? No the model you asked about is not in a boxed case.
3.) What are the dimensions of the winder? In inches Dimensions are about 4.2 x 5.7 x 5.8
Thank you for your inquiry about Orbita's Sparta Single Open Winder for your Rolex watch. Depending on which Rolex watch you have, the Sparta Open Winder works for most models of Rolex Automatic Watches, and for most other watches as well.
Orbita makes the Sparta Winder Motor and places it inside 3-4 different models of Winder. The Open Model, the Deluxe Wood Case Models and the InSafe Model of WatchWinders. The difference in these winders performance has to do with the different angles of rotation. The only time this becomes an issue it seems is with the really heavy multi function chronographs and watches with many complications.
(Time and Date are the most common complications, but watches that have multiple adjustment stems tend to be heavier. So only worry about this weight issue if you have a truly complicated and heavy watch.) Sparta Winders wind 99% of all watches without a problem.
The more vertical the angle the better the winder is able to wind heavier watches. The InSafe Winder places the winder head almost totally vertical and therefore can wind virtually all automatic watches. The Deluxe Sparta Watch Winder is slightly less vertical, and it still does well with heavy automatic watches. The Open Sparta Winder, due to its light weight base has a winder head titled at a less severe angle and therefore some heavy watches do not do so well in this winder. This is an issue which you experienced with another watch winder
and is simply a matter of physics. Since you did not tell us the Rolex model you own
we can not be more precise than this. Orbita does not recommend the Sparta Open Winder series for really heavy watches.
Sparta Watch Winder Highlights are:
* American Made
* Whisper Quiet Technology.
* Long Warranty: 2 year warranty.
* Easiest Winder to use on the market.
* Winds almost every Rolex automatic watch.
* Longest battery Life at 2 years! (most winder batteries only last 6 months)
The heaviest Rolex watches usually need the angle of the enclosed case of
the

or the
InSafe Winder.

Orbita does not recommend the open winders for heavier watches.
The watch is easily mounted over a resilient foam cushion, which accommodates virtually any size watch with either
leather strap or metal bracelet. The cushion fits snugly into the drive cup, making it impossible for the watch to fall as the
cup swings back and forth during the winding cycle. The cup is easily removed to facilitate watch mounting
We make our business to help our customers find a quality watchwinder for their quality watches. Sorry to hear you had a bad experience with another watchwinder on the market. From our perspective this is not at all unusual.
Sincerely,
Joyce
