Picking a watch winder can be confusing. We will try to help. We usually recommend our choices as follows, Good Choice, Better Choice and Best Choices. Price typically increases as your winder recommendation goes up in quality and features. Breitling is a very important watch brand and we were reading the breitlingsource.com blog and found he had a small snippet on watch winders which we thought you might benefit from.
You might wish to read his post, though it does not quite make a recommendation it does accurately hit on many of the issues with watchwinders, one issue is:
"Should you purchase a cheap watch winder?" The Post writer concludes from experience the answer is an emphatic no! His blog post on "The Breitling Watch Blog" Titled "How to pick a watch winder for your Breitling or Rolex or whatever" might not answer any questions directly, but it will introduce you to the major brands and help steer you away from mistakes.
Watch Winders are hard to find locally. The only people who purchase watch winders are people who own more than one automatic watch. Few people own automatic watches, fewer people own 2 automatics.
Jewelers do not tend to stock winders. Why not? Well, Automatic Watch Winders are expensive (even at wholesale prices) with low margins and do not sell quickly. Jewelers would rather make 600% margins on a cheap bunch of stones that anyone might buy than tie up $500 in a watch winder and make $100 on the possible sale to a watch collector. This means you have to shop online. A good place to start online is the Google directory.

How to Choose a Watch Winder. One place I strongly recommend you
do not look for a watch winder is on EBay. Yes, there are a lot of people selling winders, however our customer base informs us almost daily about some issue they had with a used winder or an old discontinued model that somehow made it out of the trash can and into the market place. Sure it was cheap, but when you throw the winding device away in a month, it is like throwing good money away. Successful people own Automatic Watches, and do not need to save pennies. But, we keep selling replacement winders to them, when if they had come to us in the first place they would have saved money by spending more for quality!
