I was in a authorized Rolex repair store to have my TT Daytona serviced for inaccurate timing a couple of years ago (watch was out of warranty). The person servicing my watch asked if I ever used a watch winder, to which I answered "no, is there a good inexpensive brand you could recommend?"
He told me not to use a watch winder. These high end watches have lubricant inside that keeps all the components lubed up. Even if you don't wear your watch for a while, you don't have to keep it on a winder. Keeping your watch on a winder eventually goes through the lube and you'll have to get the watch serviced sooner rather than later. So if you're not wearing your watch, just leave it alone. When you do decide to wear it, just set the time and go.
I don't own a watch winder (not just because of what he said) because I rotate through my watches and have never had an issue with any of them keeping good time (knock on wood).
