I have been working with this winder for a month. It is quiet and keeps my watches running. It has both a clockwise and counterclockwise rotating pattern that is suitable for all watches. It suffers from the problem that is endemic with most winders, it cannot handle the larger watches(+44mm). The watches can come into contact with each other. If you are looking for a master work of furniture, then, this aint it. IT is a fairly good looking,very reasonably priced,  piece of plastic, with a strong motor that keeps your watches running. It is a safe choice when balancing cost, function and appearance.
