Hi all, I have circa 30 spare Omega bracelets and I simply store them in a box, with each separated by bubble wrap. There must be a better way!! I’ve been tempted to buy the pictured box on the net but I’m struggling to justify €300 plus postage. What else is out there?? I’m really keen for suggestions, thanks!

Small Ziplock bags with labels, or the thicker PVC ziplock sleeves? I collect bracelets, too, but I don't have a need to display them and I think your current solution sounds sufficient. If you need one of them on a rare occasion, it's probably not a big deal to look through 30 bracelets.

Personally, I'm more concerned about storing watches in a way that you can actually see what you have. I found that once you get past roughly 75, it's not very practical to display them, and you and up shoving them in drawers and boxes.

Thanks Dan - long, narrow ziplock bags would work, providing an element of protection with the bracelets still visible (I do enjoy looking at them from time to time).

These are 8x20cm, but they come in various sizes.

Thanks, they look very robust - the ones I’ve sourced locally are paper thin. Next step is buy online I think.

I also bought this Omega storage box but it simply takes up far too much space.

Yes, they are pretty stiff and much thicker than standard zip-lock bags. They are on eBay. Generally shipped from China. If you buy them in bulk (i.e. lots of 10-20), they will be less than $1 USD each.
