This thing may never win a beauty contest, but it works well.  I bought this three months ago, to replace winders that had failed.  Since I have had difficulty finding reliable winders, I waited to write the review.  Upon this arriving, I was impressed that it does look better than I expected from the pictures.  I store my winder in a safe, so it is not an ideal environment (think warm in summer, cool in winter), but this winder still works perfectly.  It keeps the watches wound perfectly.

People have complained about it being noisy, when I had the winder out on the counter, I never noticed any noise?

I gave this three stars because this serves my purpose very well.  It didn't impress me with the finish, and it is not nice wood or anything.  This is offset by the fact that you're not paying for all that.
