Since I'm poor, and buying cheap watches, and really like this new hobby, I thought I'd ask those that have watch winders or display cases, what do you have ?
Sitting here on pain meds, bored out my mind, and thought about what to do with watches as I am buying what is catching my eye. Can't just throw them in a pile in my underwear drawer....

It sounds like you have auto winding watches, so having an auto winding box to store them in will keep them all up and running so you can wear them whenever. Look online and on Amazon for the auto winders and they do make them to hold/wind multiple watches. They are virtually all made in China, I just ordered a double winder for my wife, just make sure they are not battery only powered, most come with an A/C adapter or you will be changing out D cells once a month. All you can do is read the customer reviews for deciding which to try. I am sure the Swiss make some for 1K, but my chinese one is 6 years old with no problems and was $80. Also, check your watch papers to find out what rotation speed and direction they require and make sure the winder you buy will work, pretty much all of them are adjustable but if you don't get the rpms right, it may not keep your watch wound properly. Auto winders also help keep your watch more accurate as they never wind all the way down and stop. Some of them(Chinese) advertise that they use an ultra-quiet Japanese drive motor which is good, mine is not loud, but it is not on the bedside table either, and since the motor is the main component, the Japanese made motor SHOULD be better than the Chinese made. Now you know everything I know about watch winders, which a'int much. Hope you get better soon and Merry Christmas!
