Patek Philippe: Orbita watch winders

Does anyone else have a Orbita watch winder? I bought a Sparta MINI winder (electric) because I have only one watch thus far. After a few days on the winder, even though the winder is still operating in motion, the watch stops and I end up manually winding the watch anyway. Any thoughts?

Patek Philippe: Orbita watch winder

Thanks Bill - Bought the mini-watch winder for my one Patek. Should have gotten the one that has the battery-operated option, but still good.

Patek Philippe: Unauthorized PP Retailer/Distributor

Dr. Fogg - Thanks for your follow-up regarding retention of value. An additional concern is buying through an unauthorized PP retailer or distributor in NYC. If PP service would extend to those watches with proper papers.

Patek Philippe: Yellow Golden Ellipse 3738/100J-012

Is it worth buying one if discontinued? So many questions to ponder... Will the resale plummet? Will it still be serviceable after purchase? Had my sights on this one for awhile. The Rose Gold and Platinum doesn't do it for me.

Patek Philippe: 50th Anniversary

No I did not. Thank you for sharing I think I first saw this Ellipse on or near its 35th anniversary and had a good feeling about it then. It grew to the point that it's the "one" for me. I'm sure others may have felt the same way with their first.

Thanks for pointing that out...do you have their email address for follow-up? Attempted to use their website's contact page earlier, but message didn't get transmitted due to technical issues from their end.
