All that said,
here is what I had. I paid $120 for it in May of 2020.
But you definitely get what you pay for when it comes to longevity - one of the motors went out about a year ago and the other finally kicked the bucket a couple months back.
It actually looks very nice, nicer than the photos on Amazon would make you think. I'm sure there's something with better aesthetics out there, but I really haven't had a desire to upgrade when it comes to the looks department.
I've considered upgrading on the overall quality and looked at Wolf, but balked when I saw the pricing for the winding capacity/storage capacity you get. That's why I've sat here for months debating whether to go cheap again and just realize I'm going to have to replace every couple years, or pony up for something a little nicer. Don't see moving into the Wolf price range though.
Anecdotally, I did speak with a Rolex Service Technician who said any of the fears about "overwinding" in particular and winders in general are misguided, so Wolf's claims about rotations per day and all that jazz are probably just marketing tactics. Only thing you need to watch out for is that your watches are secured tightly enough and have enough room in-between each other that they're not knocking into each other. I never had issues with either on the winder I listed (it shows out of stock but you can find others that seem very similar on Amazon, probably all made in the same Chinese factory).
I'm still sorting through what to get next myself, so if LPHA or any other posters have insight, I'm all ears.
