I have/had a bulk loader that I know for sure is/was a Watson. It worked great
when I was using it, which was probably 40 years ago, back when I was buying
Panatomic-X in 100 ft. rolls. I may still have it, because I nearly never sell
or give anything away, but even if I do, I bet I couldn't find it in a week.
And even if I did, I would hesitate to evict the mouse family probably now
calling it home.
But a Watson is about as good as you can do for a bulk loader. Just be careful
about the film cans/cannisters/cassettes you use. They can scratch and screw
up the film more than the Watson ever will.
