Can anyone help me with the best watch winder for the PAM 88? This is my first panerai!

There are probably tons that will work well, but I prefer any of the Orbita Rotorwind winders.. and the most affordable ones are the Orbita Sparta winders. If you want wood look then go for the Orbita Sparta Deluxe winders. I prefer these winders because of the pillow mounting system... some prefer the hard plastic mounts.

Many have also had good luck with non-brand name winders such as the ones from Official Time on ebay.

Thanks for advice. I was just concerned that the 44 mm face and heaviness would be tough on some winders. I have read that some winders have difficulty with closing the cover with larger size watches. I probably will go for an orbita.

Thanks again for response.

Even my Breitling Super Avengers are handled by the Orbita with ease, and the other great thing about them.. they take batteries and the batteries last over 2 years, and they are easily stashed in a safe while on the winder.
