Post subject: Where to buy a watchwinder?

Where would you go in Shanghai to buy a watchwinder? I have a few auto watches, so I'm looking for a 2 or 3 watch winder.

Ah the youth of today... I remember a time when we use to have to wind our portal clocks... none of these new fangled battery powered and kinetic things...

Razz (okies these are actually clock winders )

I could use a watchbox (the thing that rocks an automatic when you don't want to wear it) too.

It looks like you will have to build your own. Or get a few cats so you can fit the watch over the cats head like a collar. The watch will be moved about as the cat moves so it will keep it going.

My Omega stops working after 36hrs if I dont wear it, they dont mention that in the "Bond" movies.

Failing that buy the versions that are quartz and battery powered, not only will you not have to wear them to keep them going, but they keep better time.
