In Response To: Re: Omega Chronograph ()

: Thank you. Does Omega Recommend any automatic
: watch winders? How much do they cost?

Omega doesn't recommend any specific brand, but you want to buy a winder that winds BI-DIRECTIONALLY since most Omega automatics wind this way.

I've had some luck with the Sharper Image winders, as well as some Steinhausen ones I bought on ebay a while ago. You can find them by doing an ebay search. The Sharper Image ones were factory refurbished and were around $50 (half of retail). The Steinhausen ones were in that same price range. There are many models to choose from, but the most important thing to look for is one that winds bi-directionally.

Good Luck,
John
