I purchased this hesitantly as I had already ran into trouble with cheap (under$150)Brookstone watch winder, which stopped working after a month. Additionally, the Brookstone winder could not keep my Breitling (Limited Edition Crosswind Special w/ 7carat diamond bezel) wound due to its weight. This "cheap" winder on the otherhand has performed great. My watch never loses a step, looks great in the winder, and the winder has not stopped working (yet, fingers crossed).
