How many of you use winders?

I'm contemplating getting a large one for myself, but have no idea which one to go for.

Most of them seem to be only 1-8 watches at a time.

What you think of the two below?
Beco Executive Atlantic 6 Watch Winder Box » Winder World

Boxy Carbon 12 Watch Winder » Winder World

I just use my wrist. Only have 1 decent watch with an automatic movement, and its pretty much my daily driver. The others are battery.
Brown Safe on the forum here makes beautiful stuff, but might be overkill for you needs.

Thanks haha, but won't work for me - unless I want to look like a rapper . I only own automatic watches and I will need a couple winders. It's a mental thing not having to worry about replacing batteries. Plus I enjoy looking at the movements.

I don't think Brown makes winders in their safes.

I own among other, some Rolex.

Are there any benefits to keep it in a winder, except from the obvious that you don't need to reset it every time you want to use it ???

And by the way, a nice gadget.....

They do, but you have to pay serious money for that luxury.

Nice but i can't see the value in a $1k safe being spruced up and having to pay $6k for the same item, however nice it is - you would have a tiny safe and 4 watch winders for that price and IMO you're better off buying a large safe and winders separately.

I was going to buy this but it's pricy for what it is considering it wont be on display (why spend money on an item that wont be seen):

Five Watch Box in Black Croc & Cobalt Suede - Leather Photo Albums, Leather Wallets, Leather Goods & Leather Gifts - Aspinal of London

Looking at safes such as this:

Chubbsafes ProGuard Grade 2 Model 60E High Security Safe : Chubbsafes Eurograde 2 Safes
