Not much of a safe if is was pulled from the floor.
A lot of insurance wrangling ahead, proving the safe was rated for the contents, fitted correctly etc.
As an aside I have a safe and occasionally wonder if it is not a sign - all valuables here, come and get them ???

 

If I had £210,000 worth of watches in my house I'd also have a safe big enough not to be ripped from the floor.

I currently live in a country where thankfully the crime rate is extremely low so my safe is more to stop my kids 'borrowing' anything of value

 

I have a safe that a platoon of criminals couldn't rip out. It's called a "safety deposit box".

 

A dog is better protection from burglary than any firearm since you can't shoot a home intruder if you aren't home. One loud bunch of barks and criminals will rob your neighbors instead. And if you are home at the time of a break-in, your dog will be on the guy quicker than you can pull your weapon from it's holster, let alone cock it and take the safety off. The sweetest 120 lb golden retriever you'd ever meet will turn into a lethal mass of fangs and anger if their humans are threatened.

 

I am not paranoid honestly!! But.... Maybe the best place is in the dog!!!

 

Silly question.... If you put it in SDB isn't it too much hassle if you want to wear it? Unless one just want to put it there for years awaiting price appreciation. Which beats the fun of collecting watch IMHO.

 

That's pretty much it. A few modern watches are always around, and the vintage get rotated. Several members of various forums do this and you can tell what they do and don't have if you pay attention to the WRUW threads.

 

If you have a large size floor standing gun safe bolted to the floor, your watches aren't going anywhere. (Unless their pulling it out with a chain and a backhoe) A high end model would have a fire rating high enough to protect things in the event of a fire.

 

How about a dog with a Glock sitting in front of a bolted down safe?

 

You don't need a safe deposit box if you have one of this.

 

Nice idea but you actually have to get it under the safe to either cut the bolts or cut out the concrete all around the perimeter and take the slab with it. Good luck.

 

Lay how much? Admittedly they were after more than a watch!!
On the final weekend, the gang broke through 1.1 meters (3.6 ft) of steel-reinforced concrete to enter the bank vault. The bank notes weighed approximately 3,500 kg (approx. 7,700 lbs) and would have required a considerable amount of time and effort to remove.

 

Exactly. Make them move on to an easier target, or better yet get caught in the act and either taken away in handcuffs or a body bag.
