I used a combination of storage options.

My divers are in the pelican case.

My dress watches are in cheap plastic cases from Daiso..

As shared earlier, my Russian vintages are in this plastic storage boxes from Home Fix.

I think it's Toyogo too..

Bro roo7,

Are these sorted in their value.... watches more valuable you put in bulletproof almost indestructible cases??

Then Indestructible watches in normal storage?

bought this Diplomat briefcase (400mm X 280mm X 80mm) from Mustafa @ $35, there are a few size variants. All with number combi lock and key lock.

DIY the foam insert to hold 10 watches, can cut up to 6 slots X 2 rows though, but decided to have more spacing in between watches (50mm each slot width + 20mm gap in between slots).

Bought the foam at $37 for one whole big piece (1800mm X 1000m X 25mm), eventually only used about 20%.
Any bros, need the foam please feel free to contact me

Would there be scratches to the back of the watch from the bracelets using some of the more simple boxes? Need to do any protective measure for this? =)

The diplomat briefcase gives a 'bond', especially with a 007 in. Deng deng deng deng....deng deng deng....deng deng deng deng....

Gentlemen,

Was at Nex this evening and went to the "Toybox" shop beside the 7-Eleven store and i could not find any watch boxes. I asked the store salesperson and was told that the "supplier" pulled out from displaying his wares at this particular outlet.

I was advise by the staff to "Try" at 112 Katong.

I will try my luck online to see if my luck changes..... otherwise will find alternatives.

Not really, I started with Russians, so went on a crazy buying spree, so I invested in those storage drawers, so I can store 2-3 watches in a drawer, since most of them are 40mm and below.

Then I got the plastic cases...

When I first arranged a mix of dress and diver watches in the pelican case, 1 of them on leather decided to grow mould

Always so irritated with leather straps for that reason.

So now, the majority of the divers are on bracelet or nato/zulu, so I leave them in a pelican case.

And shift the dress watches on leather straps to the plastic cases.

Definitely not sorted by value but by genre.

I ride a BMW GSA..... i usually take long bike trips up north. Last year i was on my bike riding up to Laos. And these are my type of holidays.

LWE is Long Weekend End.

Thanks for the tip. Takashimaya shopping trip will need to take place.... time to invite the wife for a shopping day. Hope my damage is not only the Watch Box this time!!!
