If you're like me, you've probably amassed an impressive collection of watch straps over the years (also known as strap failures) that are likely stuffed in a drawer somewhere. Anybody have a box/storage solution that helps organize the collection and provides a more useful (attractive) alternative to the sock drawer? Anybody keep this stuff organized?

 

I use one of these things but it's a 2 drawer A4 sized version which I can't find on the site at the moment

I use a watch storage box.

Although I don't have an impressive collection of straps (or watches), I do like to keep things organized. I use my father's vintage leather cuff link box...which I believe is from the 1930's or 1940's...to store the Omega NATO straps, the Omega replica NASA strap as well as the Rothco protective straps. Luckily everything fits in my father's box. My Omega Moonwatch presentation box could easily hold all of this (and more) but my wife prefers that I not utilize it because it requires too much space on our dresser top.

Note: My father is pictured in the upper right hand corner of the box.

 

I have a few old dealer cases that work well

 

LOVE THIS!!!

 

I have these leather rolls made & for a less costly way I bought the black portfolio from jewelry supply. I think it's for necklaces & such.

 

I chuck mine in a gallon-sized ziplock bag.

 

A couple of these will work miracles!

Nice pic of your Dad Collin, I like his adventurer/explorer jodhpurs, was he ex-Army?

And would that be a Waco cabin he's standing on?

 

Thanks @JimInOz! I'm not quite sure what the heck is going on in that pic...my father was not a pilot (he was a corporate executive)...so I believe he may have 'gone flying' with a corporate colleague...or something along those lines. Regarding ex-Army, he may have been former New Jersey Army National Guard in the mounted division (Cavalry) but the family isn't too sure about that. Regarding if the aircraft is a Waco...I have no idea...I don't know much about vintage aircraft...other than the fact that what I fly now (MD-88/MD-90 = Mad Dog) is 'sort of' vintage since most of them are about 25 years old. Anyway, my father was an interesting (and somewhat mysterious) man...if he were still alive, he'd be 104.

 

Where did you get the leather roll made? Wouldn't mind something similar?
