: Caliber 3303 does wind bi-directionally, so it
: shouldn't be wound only in one direction. I
: have had luck with the Sharper Image
: winders, since they wind in a pendulum
: motion (bi-directional). I also have some
: nice Steinhausen winders I bought on ebay
: that are inexpensive yet wind
: bi-directionally. The wind one way, rest,
: then wind the other way. They are also very
: quiet compared to the old ones I've had (as
: are the Sharper Image ones).
: If you can find either on ebay, this would be
: my recommendation. I paid about $40
: including shipping for the Steinhausen, and
: the Sharper Image one was a factory refurb
: for about $60 with tax and shipping. If your
: Brookstone model is much more expensive and
: doesn't wind bi-directionally, I'd return it
: and buy one of the others. Or, you could
: keep it and just reset the direction
: manually.
: Good luck. If you need help locating a specific
: winder on ebay, you can e-mail me privately
: at jwrochowicz@cfl.rr.com and I'll send you
: a link to ones similar to those I bought.

John,
Check you e-mail & thank you for your quick reply. Yes, I do love my Americas Cup Chrono. I wear it every day, except when fishing or swimming on weekends
