Orbita for sure. There are places that discount them. I got mine at Sierra Trading Post. It is an awesome tool.

I agree with the guy above me: Your Wrist!

I have a new RGM Chronograph that is a pain in the butt to let run down so, when it is not on my wrist, it is on the winder.

Good-luck with you search.

Orbita all the way. I also had good results with the cheaper Sharper Image silent winders.
