What?

To answer your query regarding 9 or 12, tot up how many watches you have. If it's above 9, less than 12 and the count is likely to stay that way, I can probably advise which case size would be most suitable.

Got 9, but not sure about the future...

I had one of these http://windit.co.uk/products/?pid=W312 (well 2 really) but they went back.

First one arrived with a long scratch on the cabinet.

Three of the motors on the 2nd one failed after about a month.

That went back too.

I didn't bother with a 3rd one.

jeez yikes at that price I would expect some 'asian dwarf' to be in the back turning them by hand - one bowl of rice per day running costs.

thats a rediculous amount of money to be failing like that.

edit -------

then again I suppose its £200 per 'station' which is actually not much

I didn't buy it from the company on the link (was just the first picture I found of it).

I think I paid around £1900. So still a fair bit but a little cheaper than the link.

I've now bought a Scatola del Tempo winder to replace it; beautifully well made pieces of kit.
