Why would anybody buy one of these? Personally I feel that the fun in owning a manual watch Is winding it daily before wearing it. Your tending to the watch. That's cool to me. These manual watch winders take away all of the enjoyment in my opinion of owning a manual watch.

I'd use one, rather than getting sore fingers winding it on for 20 days...

LOL Can't say I've ever had a problem having to advance the watch a few days. Is that really what that piece is for?
