Those must be really big watch boxes. 😁 The entire rig (suit, weights and shoes) weights around 250lbs. No fun getting suited up for work. Sure glad I got out of that line of work.

@watchdaddy1 - you really scored on that one. To find one in pristine shape is a real rarity. Most were pretty beat up over their lifetime.

Just check the bank SDV is climate controlled on Sundays.

I had a friend who went to get his "Pension Fund" GMT out from HSBC in HK and the dial was ruined. He discovered that they turn the Aircon off Saturday lunchtime until monday morning. So once a week it was baked. For 20 years.
