Does anyone have a suggestion for a good watch winder and storage box?

I'm looking for something with the following qualities:
- 3 watch winding slots
- understated look - not very fancy and ornate
- relatively small - to fit on a dresser or side table
- a drawer for extra straps, mechanical watches etc
- moderate price

Thanks a lot for any suggestions.

IMHO Orbita are the best. I use the Sparta models, with no drawers or frills. But they have others.

I love my Wolf Design winder.

Get the 2.7 model as it's fully adjustable from 300 TPD to 1300 TPD. You can also select CW, CCW and bi-rotational motions. The black model with the lid has three additional spots for manual wind watches and it also comes with a small travel case.

They come with a 2 year warranty and I have three of them. 2 doubles and a single.

Why do winders cost so much? Aren't they mostly just motors in a box? The Wolf 3 watch winder (not their top of the line model even) goes for $750 (discounted)!

Try Brookstone Quad winder - has teh extra slot for any future purchase. Although, does not have a storage compartment but at a price of less than $200 worth it IMO.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions. I didn't realize how expensive these are - especially for 3 or 4 slots. I'll have to do some more thinking. Thanks
