thereef510 wroteThe one from Nordstrom looks really nice, you should get that one.So I just discovered this sub forum, and am frankly wowed by the collections of watches many of you have. I just started collecting. I have two so far. My Guess waterpro watch that my recently departed father gave me when I was a child. And my brand new Navitimer, my first big boy watch. I already have a list of at least 3-4 more watches I want so I’m looking for a case to hold 6-8 watches. I saw a nice one on Nordstrom for ~$100:

Or this one on amazon for a third of that:

I’m not wearing the case out anywhere. Not sure if it’s worth spending a lot for just a box. Thoughts and recommendations? Thank you!

thereef510 wroteI have this one and really like it. All depends on how large you expect your collection to get.

c1pher wroteI totally agree, my Wolf winder sits on top of my dresser in the bedroom and looking at it puts a huge smile on my face every time I walk past it.I think it’s a good idea. It’s nice to be able to see them, they are practically works of art and craftsmanship.
FrankMayazu wroteWelcome to the forum!I have a question for you. What do you look out for when you are picking a watch?
I have apple watches and I love them. I feel like they are one of the smart watches that have great technology and syncs with the apple ecosystem.
I never thought about getting any other kind of watch because the apple watch seems to have and do it all.
You mentioned a big boy watch. What kind of watch is this? is it the price?
or the materials its made from or is it the brand?
FrankMayazu wroteHonestly, the watch is an accessory that makes me feel special whenever I wear it. Kinda like how women view jewelry. My breitling, if I forget to wind it, you have to set the time again. you gotta keep it away from strong magnetic fields. its a bit of work. My apple watch is just set it and forget it. It has so many functions and keeps accurate time.... but its not special. Everyone has one. Its just another utilitarian thing we all have.I have a question for you.

afadeev wrotelook at me, look at me, I have watches!It is definitely silly, unless it really turns you on.
In which case, who are we to judge?
thereef510 wroteFYI, Breitling is currently offering a free 3 year extended warranty if you purchased your Navitimer directly from them or an official Breitling boutique, authorized wholesale partner, or a Breitling outlet store.This is the one I bought:

Westside Guy wroteThey make many different models and currently are advertising a once a year sale on their website.

Therefore, you should definitely check out the once a year Wolf sale that ends on Nov. 28th as they have a solid reputation for making an excellent winder.Wolf are having a 70% sale right now and also check on aliexpress they have some awesome choices and cheap too.
Westside Guy wroteI would get a Mozsly watch winder. Does everything a Wolf winder does at a much cheaper price. Even runs on either ac or battery power.thereef510, you stated in your opening post that you are looking to build a collection and already have a list of 3-4 more watches that you are looking to purchase.

The majority of Breitling watches require either 650 or 800 TPD (turns per day) and need to be wound bi-directionally. If you do decide to purchase a winder, I recommend that you should only look at a programable model where you can set the TPD. 😉
Also my winder can be powered by D cell batteries when I unplug it from an outlet. For peace of mind, when I go away on a long vacation, I disconnect it from the AC outlet and store it safely hidden in the back of one of my closets and it keeps on winding.
DanG wroteI agree with you that the Mozly winder is a good choice and costs considerably less money than the Wolf winders. However they have some limitations as they only make winders that can store one or two watches. Also if you want to add more winders you have to stack them and connect each one with a cable on the back. I personally don't like that stacked look.I would get a Mozsly watch winder.

thereef510 wroteTheir customer service is great to deal with. My winder is about 15 years old and one of my older style cuffs that holds the watches inside the winder needed to be replaced. I searched everywhere including eBay and they are no longer available anywhere online. I emailed their customer service dept. and they managed to find one of these older style cuffs and shipped it to me free of charge.I like the price point for mozsly, but the wolf sale cant be beat lol. not sure why i picked this as a new hobby, I'm already spending way more than I ever thought I would. Thank you for the recommendations!
that you choose either a 3 or 4 watch winder with a storage compartment on top where you can keep any watches and extra straps you aren't currently using.
