I'm in need of a watch winder for my automatics as I'm getting tired of having to set them (especially with the day/date complication)

Most of the ones I see for sale are kind of flashy, where I'm looking for something that's strictly for utility, probably stuck in a drawer.

Anyone have any recommendations, or ideas for how to build one?

Edit: right now I only have 2 automatics, but will probably get more :)

I've thought about building them before.

Maybe look at how people have done it on thingiverse:
