Orbita usually have discounted models (because of imperfections). That's the route I took. I think I got one for almost half price (still expensive though).
: The Seamaster Professional series uses caliber
: 1120 which winds bi-directionally . This
: means that you want to buy a winder that is
: capable of such winding. The winder should
: rotate the watch clockwise for a few
: minutes, rest for a few minutes, and then
: rotate the watch counterclockwise for a few
: minutes.
: It really depends how much you want to spend.
: Steinhausen winders are very inexpensive,
: wind bi-directionally, and can be bought on
: ebay (just do a search for them). I have had
: good luck with them, though I have heard
: reports from others that they can break
: after a year or so. Orbitas are probably
: considered the best, though they are
: considerably more expensive.
: One suggestion I'd make is that, if your
: boyfriend has only one automatic watch, buy
: just a single winder for now. It will be
: cheaper, and if it breaks you haven't paid
: for the more expensive dual winder. If he
: acquires another watch later, you can buy
: another winder. I've been able to get
: Steinhausen single watch winders on ebay for
: less than $40 shipped, and they are very
: quiet compared to some others I have owned.
: This is just a suggestion for a first
: winder.
: Good luck,
: John
