    Aside from the obvious overpriced accessories on the famous watch "blogs", does anyone have any cool holiday gift recommendations for the watch lover? The best tools, books, accessories and/or gadgets?

    Spring bar tool. Bergeon 6767F if they don't have one already. I use mine all the time.

    How about a Rolex bezel bracelet? I have a colleague who sports one and it suits him quite well.

    Agreed! Long done and should now be filed under the 'load of bollox' drawer

    On another note....

    These are absolutely fantastic if the person you are buying for is in to anything space.

    Agree. You either have the watch and therefore don't need this alongside - or you don't have the watch, and.......it just looks a bit desperate.

    I'm not sure where you are on budget but I bought myself one of these watch rolls last year and I use it every week. I also noticed the same roll being used by at least one other member on here. Far cheaper than Hodinkee and far better than Amazon: https://www.loths.co.uk/loths-watch-roll-organiser-cases
