Hi Forum Members I am thinking of buying a case to keep my watches in, with enough room for around 10 watches. I'm based in the UK and the ones I have seen on the web or EBay are either really expensive £300+ or are cheap and don't do the watches justice. Any advice or tasteful suggestions would be very much appreciated (really like the classy cases in Hodinkee's Talking Watches with Morgan King but I don't know what they are). Does anyone on this Forum? Thank you!
I bought one of these. Definitely cheap (but doesn't look it) and the tray at the bottom is handy for straps, tools etc. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0156HXPCG/ref=pe_385721_135448141_TE_item_image
These are quite nice. I've got a couple. But if you buy from them, make sure you get the one around $75 USD ( for the 20 watch box). Not the one around $40. It's OK but a far cry from the pricier one. They come in a few finishes. The one I have is Rosewood. http://www.acetimer.com/20-Watch-Qu...-Case-for-Extra-Large-Watches-up-to-60mm.html They also sell on eBay and they have a 10 watch version as well.

Brookstone "Diplomat" cases are excellent for the money. I have the 6 and 18 watch holders in carbon fiber finish. http://www.brookstone.com/pd/diplomat-6-watch-storage-case-carbon-fiber-pattern/882216p.html
How about recycling? I got this vintage IWC case from a member, and finally 4 IWC watches to put in Ammo case watch box also pretty cool (not mine)
That's a cool way to organize straps... I need to figure out my mess of straps before I can't open/close the drawer on my box
A whole bunch on ebay that look like ones posted above. Not sure what the differtence really is, but to me they look similar/same http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-GRID-LEA...H-MEN-WOMEN-LOCK-SLOT-ORGANIZER-/322222635278Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Mens-...Display-Glass-Top-Jewelry-Drawer/302190664896Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network (I like this one the most) http://www.ebay.com/itm/Mens-Watch-...-Display-Case-Storage-Organizer-/222373744888Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network http://www.ebay.com/itm/12-Mens-Wat...-Drawer-Lockable-Case-Organizer-/192048304146Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network Just search "watch box drawer" and you'll find bunch more.
I was looking at cheaper cases, but I think the Bulang & Sons / JPM case is much better looking and higher quality than the cheapo boxes https://bulangandsons.com/product/bs-10-watch-zip-folder-brown-camo/
i use a Pelican case (model 1200 for 6 watches) with foam inside that i cut to shape. I like the fact that the box is waterproof and shockproof when i carry it with me.
Personally I now have a safe so I don't care what the case looks like. Keeping a watch case out in the open seems like asking for trouble.
