Trawling eBay after moving on my PO. Came across this. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/193881687443
Can hardly contain myself with this really excellent and matching extra....

I would actually like someone to take advantage of this gift and then lodge a complaint that it does not operate as implied by the gift pairing. As recompense you demand someone come to your house daily and wind your new Speedmaster. You will also leave your shoes outside the door for a buff and polish as well.

It's hilarious, indeed.

But, hey, they are not saying you have to use it with the Speedy. They are just saying you'll get one for free 😉
You might wanna use it on a Casio...

This for me as well. Only when I read @JwRosenthal's post did I connect the dots 🤦

maybe it is a REALLY well trained wolf? But if so I think it would scratch your watch even well trained....

You can use the winder when the battery in the watch dies.

I get the same box for free when I order my speedy from Beaverbrooks.
Better give a free strap or other option if you order a Manual-Winding watch but...

This watch comes with a free hand carved stand 😎 The watch is apparently made of mahogany, and the stand is made from old-growth miyota, or something along those lines...

That hand carving is exquisite. Quite the showcase of talent in this master craft.
