Hi,

I have a friend who is into his watches, IWC, Omega, Rolex, Pan etc.... So are these a great idea for a christmas pressent?

Dont know if the cogs/wheels would snag on shirts or even if the would stand upto much wear, but i would guess he would not wear them everyday!!

Thanks in advance

Certainly a novel item, even if they never get used – the 4th image and the last would be the two I'd focus on, in light of your concern.
I can see them being appreciated for the thought, even if they only ever remain in their presentation box – but who knows, he might just wear them.

I have a pair - they're quite nice but I rarely wear them. Probably should more often!

I have a pair similar to the round vintage cufflinks in the link above. I don't find the cogs catch and have certainly survived occasional wear.
I think they would make a nice gift (as mine were).

I think they're a nice present.

A colleague of mine has some proper manual winding/working watch cufflinks if you fancy something a little more extreme.

Thanks for the feedback guys, it would seem the only problem is that they are too common, everyone has got a pair smile

That would be like saying everyone has a Porsche on a Porsche forum wobble
