PP winding box
PP winder comes with 5140(bought end Dec 07) stopped, brought it to my AD and I was told PPHK isn't able to fix it and have to send to Switzerland for repair( replacement probably) at USD 1,800.
Justify to pay the amount for repair or I should just use other winders available ?

pretty steep....
wow i that is quite a quote!! i would wait to get an "official" estimate from PP but $1800 is a lot for a winder repair. I would purchase a new Orbita or Scatola Del Tempo winder for a fraction of the cost. I have attached a link from the Scatola del Temp...
Patek winding box
