My 23 year old Rolex was losing time so I took it in for servicing for the first time ever. The cost to service it and bring it back to full working order was just over $1,000....yup....$1,000. There was nothing really wrong with it beyond needing to be cleaned. Apparently, I should be having my watch serviced every three years and the cost will be approximately $900-$1000 each time. That is an outrageous amount to spend to care for a watch that cost an outrageous amount to purchase. However, the jeweler said that if I used a watch winder I may be able to prolong the time between servicing so I purchased the single winder. It is virtually silent and looks beautiful on my bedside table. The craftsmanship is simple and elegant. I have a smaller watch and it fits beautifully but if you have a bulkier mens watch, it may not fit. There are a few different settings depending on how your watch should be wound. Overall, a lovely piece that will hopefully last a long time so that I can prolong the time between servicing my watch.
Beautiful way to keep my watch working
