Watch Boxes - What do you use??

Post by fir_chan » 26 Mar 2013 06:25

In my buying frenzy over the last 2 months, I have accumulated a fair bit of watches that are sitting in its own separate boxes or in some cardboard boxes lying on my study desk.

Would anyone be able to suggest or have lobang for a decent watch box/case that i can display and at the same time securely keep these watches? Would appreciate if you could point me to the right places to view and buy.

I am aware of the high end cases but i am not looking to buy a watch case that are in its high hundreds or thousands!!!

Show me your boxes / displays!!

I know of Quasimodo's Pelican Case with Custom Inserts but i am referring to the ones you have at home that you use to keep your prized pieces!

Anyone???

I used something like this except they are all small drawers.

Pretty handy to store some of my smaller sized Russian vintage pieces.

I did a search but did not turn up discussions on this in the first 2 pages.


I guess if this is discussed too many times.I do not want to repeat it either.


for the heads up rogue_hog.

started out with these...had 4-5 of these & really took up space

hence trimmed down most of the watches, decided to just keep the numbers within limit & got this from Quosimodo

I have been using this. And I swear by them. It's slightly bigger then CEO's.
And pretty affordable at $55.

You can get this 18 slots parking box from the various TOY OUTPOST outlets. Quality quite sturdy, and good for watches under 47mm sizes. My only complain falls on the lock catch they use on current batch. Which will be a minus point to those careless handlers, should they don't hold the box correctly, watches from the box will fall out easily.
They're all supplied by a single seller. Hence the price is the same across all branches.

your box looks different... new batch without opened window? but comes with strap holder pockets?

Some alternatives here...
If your family is made up of FERERRO ROCHER chocolate fanatics, keep the 16pc size and 36pc size box for watches sized 36mm(such as the fliegers from SEIKO) and 40mm(such as the solar diver chrono by SEIKO) respectively. They fits well. I've been using them, for all 4 variants.
