Has anyone owned the Scatola 3 RTM winder?
Looks like the Scatola 3 RTM can be acquired pre-owned between $2,700-$3,200. Has anyone that you know of ever owned/used this winder? I know it's a lot of unneccessary bling with the steampunk exposed/oversized gearing - but was wondering about it's actual functionality. For example if you have an Annual Calendar, a Chronograph, and a strict/simple watch - all automatics of course... can you set individual programs and is there enough functionality to gently keep the power reserve happy? Also, is it reliable, is it quiet, is it quality?

I bought mine about 7 years ago.
It has worked perfectly and I have nothing to complain. It's taking care of three watches as we speak. Because it's made of metal, there is small sound when the winder operates. But you can always program it in such a way that it's winding when it does no...
Kari, thanks... and an indelicate question
Kari, I was thinking of acquiring this winder (pre-loved) at some point in the future. If you acquired your Scatola 3RTM pre-loved as well, was my range accurate?
I ordered mine
from a trusted grey dealer but brand new. This SdT winder is so heavily built that it will last long as the owner. I highly recommend this. Unlike most of the winders, it's nearly entirely made of metal and you can feel the weight when holding it. Best, K...
Well done Doctor
Grail winder for sure... and a healthy, long, and happy life to you both!
Thank you Robert.
I have winders of several manufacturers. However, I will soon buy one more SdT winder for 9 watches (I don't know why I need more and more. But today's Blancpain is nicer with winder even it has the great under-lug correctors). Anyhow, now I have 2 SdT an...
Rare watch in the photo...
The watch in the photo is the rare Patek Philippe Ref. 5000G in white gold with black dial. The 5000 and the micro-rotor endowed 240 caliber was the first watch that got me to start loving Patek Philippes. Nice to see a piece of my personal history!
On mine, which is a different model, it is difficult
to extract the watch holder if the winder happens to stop when one of the two tabs that have to be squeezed is blocked by the frame of the case. The tabs on this one look similar, but it is possible that on this model there is enough space between the tab...
