The wolf cub winder is very well made and extremely quiet. I purchased the dual winder version, and even in a bedroom, it runs almost imperceptibly silent even with both winders going.
The winder box itself has a great presentation, with the large window showing both watches slowly spinning away.
The winder has a 900 TPD which is safe for the vast majority of automatics. It winds clockwise and counterclockwise intermittently for six hours then rests for 18 hours.
My only criticism of the Wolf winder, is that the cuff cushions are much too large, and place a lot of strain on the watch straps and bars. I solved the problem by using Velcro cable ties to keep the cuffs compressed. There are small size cuffs available on the Wolf website as well.
Overall I highly recommend this winder over the cheapie ones you see on Amazon.
Nicely made and the motor is silent... so quiet that I've checked on it every few days to make sure it's still working. As others have said, the cushion is quite large and stiff... as a result, I finally found a use for my bracelet's dive extension.
Props to Drop too... mine shipped 2 weeks earlier than the advertised date.
The Wolf Cub watch winder is a very basic, no-nonsense winder. It is not too big, so it can be placed on a night stand, it does not have over complicated programs, but it comes in happy colors (take my yellow one for example), and serves its purpose.
Wolf is the de facto standard for winders designed to keep automatic watch running while they're not being worn (for a day or two or for a long-term peiod of non-wear).
Having said that, this particular model is great in that it's small, quiet and mainly unobtrusive (one small blinking LED and virtually no noise). However, while my watches (a Panerai, a Seiko Dive Watch and a pair of Breitling Chronomats) are fine when wrapped around the piece to slide into the socket, 9 times out of ten the piece comes loose from the socket and requires a significant amount of force to ensure it stays in. Frustrating and very disconcerting. Invariably, I hear a clicking emanating from the box of the assembly coming loose from the socket and bumping against the box's cover. That's disconcerting. The other problem -- the fact this box doesn't allow for adjustments (speed, direction) are a problem -- but that's just a lack of feature. The socket being too hard -- ridiculously hard -- to protect the face of the watch from bouncing or pressing against the front of the winder window isn't a welcome feature. And definitely has me considering other winders (as in other companies) for solutions when I eventually purchase a four- or a six-head winder.
Cushions are waaaay to big for normal watches, putting a lof of pressure on the springbars. This is true for bracelets as well as straps. I got the optional Small cushion from Wolf and even that one is too big.
Also internal cylinder is hard plastic, potentially scratching watch bracelets when they rub on it (insert / remove watch). On a Grand Seiko were polishing is immaculate, this hurts.
Otherwise the winder is nice.
The cushions are huge and make it difficult to place your watches securely on the inserts. This puts undue strain on the spring bars. The winder itself though is great and very quiet.
