Looking for a good watch winder. Help Please! *LINK*

I would like to buy a watch winder for my two Seamasters. I want a simple, rectangular wood box. Something as close to a classic mahogany watch case as I can get is what I'm looking for. But with two winders of course.

I've done tons of basic searches on Yahoo, Google, and EBay for watch winders and pull up everything from $100 to $1000 or more depending on the winder. I know to get a winder that turns both clockwise and counterclockwise as well as one that does not run continuously. All I seem to be able to find in wood, have an angled top front edge with recessed glass. I don't hate these, but I don't "love" them either.

What's the difference in a $150 dollar winder like the one from Brookstone.com and some of the others I have found that look just like it for $400 to $600?

Does anyone know where I can find a nice winder that will last as long as my watches but wont cost me an arm and a leg?

Thanks for any suggestions.
