Very nice aesthetics, with some flaws. The smooth piano black finish attracts fingerprints and dust. Product came with a small crack on one of the corners. Motor movement is quiet, and with a ceiling fan on, with the winder about 7 feet from my bed, it is unnoticeable.
The major flaw that I noticed, however, was the angle of the winder. As it sits, specifically on my Hamilton watch, the angle of rotation is not steep enough to cause the rotor to move. I currently have the winder propped up in the back to increase the angle. I realized this as my watch has a skeletonized Open Heart design that allows the rotor to be slightly visible through the watch face. Not sure if my other Hamilton watch also exhibits this issue, but decided it was easy enough to elevate the rear of the winder. I would not recommend this for anyone that would have an issue with doing this. Right now Im happy with my 2 automatic watch collection, but if I do decide to expand in the future, I would likely replace this.
Additionally, if my math is correct, this winder has a TPD of over 2,800, with no option to adjust, which may be an issue for some people.
Works. possibly
