··Color Commentator for the Hyperbole.To me, a safe guards against a casual theft, like the housekeeper we had years ago who kept stealing and we were too crazed with our careers to notice. Serious thieves are going to get your stuff. Safe deposit box, a good security system, lights and a dog. If you must, heavy and bolted down

·Criminals use metal detectors to quickly and efficiently locate any jewellery or other expensive possessions that may be hidden in your home. This allows them to find what they want immediately, without leaving a trail of mess from searching frantically through wardrobes and draws.
Also, in my country they prefer to enter your home when residents are inside so they can more easily grab all the staff they want.
Best solution is to store the watches in a bank safe and visit it when you want to switch a watch you wear IMO. That's what i do...

Or One saltwater crocodile.
Used to install safes and remove ATMs 25 odd years ago,and if you have anything smaller than 3 people can carry it’s too small.
If you can remove it with a trolly like this
It’s still too small….
Biggest thing nowadays is hidden safes. Seek the best safe company and pay the money for something custom. 20 years ago the best companies were doing amazing work so I can just imagine how good it’s got since I worked in the industry

·In all this, these military grade thieves with metal detectors who work as a team just need to concentrate on profitable ventures. They'll only get cents in the dollar for most stuff and it certainly wouldn't pay their bills visiting my place. The randoms who are just trying their luck is what many of us might have to contend with and by and large they aren't 100 cents in the $. The concept that we are all going to be visited by crack safesmen and electronic wizards is distorting the problem for most of us, there is only a small proportion of us that are worth the effort and you would expect they have the wherewithall to put up a bit of a fight.

··Melbourne AustraliaThe age ole debate. I was keeping my watches home and my Inventory for sale till the other night. We recorded a random guy coming up to our cars at 2am shining lights on them THEN walking the property. That was enough for me to say i'm just keeping them at the bank for now. It's a Pain in the ass but in the long run it's for the better. Just my two cents tho..
You need the FBD solution to unwanted visitors.

·Safe deposit box, a good security system, lights and a dog.
A worker from our electric utility learned the hard way that one of our dogs was not bluffing when she was barking at him and warning him not to come into our backyard. This was really unfortunate, and I'm very happy to say that he wasn't badly injured, but it answered a question that I always had in the back of my mind. All things being equal, I think that burglars would rather avoid noisy territorial dogs.

·One of the outcomes of the show and tell age it seems. You can't avoid the consequences of telling the world what is in your sock drawer. I'd probably make the case that if you have $100K of portable valuables actually in your house then you can afford to do a hell of a lot to address the problem. The home safes I'm thinking of are not able to be ripped out and carted away without machinery assistance. Thats a security cabinet. Point yet again, if they are in your house then a basic flaw exists in your security plan.

Anyone going to contribute to the fundraiser?
So the gofundme was originally "Rebuild Archie Luxury's watch collection" and got very little in the way of donations in the first 18 hours or so. He's then changed it to:
HELP ME REBUILD THE AC3 YOUTUBE STUDIO
And raised the goal from $50k to $75k. There's a sucker born every minute...
Personally, I don't trust him enough that I could be sure this isn't some sort of scam...

·Personally, I don't trust him enough that I could be sure this isn't some sort of scam...
Since the video is being posted in this thread about safes, may as well point out:
(1) unclear what he thinks he means by “commercial grade” (that’s a colloquial description rather than one of the industry standards) - but it does not appear to my untrained eye to be particularly thick-walled as I’d expect a higher grade safe to be
(2) regardless of the grade, it’s got two of its non-door sides exposed, which is a risk taken - for reasons shown in the video
(3) the video is an example of the dangers of safes, if they are used to concentrate and centralize all your belongings in one spot that screams “it’s in here”
(Meanwhile, I’ve not before heard of or really understand the painting of surfaces - wild strategy)

··Omega Qualified Watchmakeri assume there are also other videos where he talks about being out of town … 🤔
Yes, he promoted it for weeks ahead of the trip apparently...I don't have firsthand knowledge, because I don;t watch his channel at all - just gleaning things from what people who do have said on other forums.
