Hello, some amazing watch boxes and collection you all have. I seek suggestion from you. I am looking for a watch box under $100 that can store around 15 boxes, hoping the finishing of the box will be good. Can you please recommend?

I’m a big fan of Smythson but it ain’t half expensive, helps I don’t live too far from their Bicester outlet store but still. I’m always curious how many ‘new and unused’ Smythson watch rolls are on eBay, they must be fake.

I have a Wolf Windsor on bedside table but I’m forever catching our lad with his grubby fingers in there so the good stuff lives in a Pelican case in the safe!

Edit: just realised my post is a bit off topic, apologies.

Hello! the boxes look good, could you please share a link of where did you buy it from?

So I'm looking for a good recommendation on a watch storage box. I have a few winders, and I would like to have this one strictly for storage. Could anyone make any recommendations on a storage box. I'm thinking about going with an aluminum glass topper, but I can't find one built to the standards I like.

I thought it would be good to cross link these threads:- https://omegaforums.net/threads/watch-boxes-travel-cases-and-winders-what-do-you-use.92373/

Got this very supple leather box from Bulang and Sons and love it, very high quality leather and construction. Has room for storage like straps and accessories. Only thing is the 4 watches on the top portion are laid out flat with no cushion thing for the strap/bracelet to wrap around. Well...if I ever manage to fill up the thing, still haven’t managed to fill the 4th slot yet after 3 years 🙁

This is just a cheap Amazon box, but it does the job for now.
Small collection, but hopefully it will expand.

How am I going to fit my Invicta's in there? Seriously though, my Navitimer wouldn't fit - do they have different size slots available? Very cool!

What does everyone here do with the original boxes? Anyone store all their watches in their originals?

I store my watches in the little plastic boxes they are supplied to the AD in. Although I begun to notice that they are a little reluctant to hand those over recently.

Bin them. However had I known in 1970 and 1982 when I got my first new watches what keeping it all would do for the current value I'd have kept B & Ps. Since 1982 almost everything I've bought new has not been in the slightest collectable. And mainly not working any longer.

Almost everyone in my family loves watches, so in my house this would be akin to satanism xD.
