    hey gang. Walked passed Breitling and made a u-turn when I saw these awesome and clean display fixtures. Came in and asked about them, a generous store manager dug out their info, from the back.

    Anyone here using a similar setup?
    Holding roughly 30 pieces.
    Thanks all.

    No … because years ago we had a dishonest/ drug addicted cleaning person. My wife and I both had hectic careers, mine was 60% global travel, a kid, a dog and were too frazzled to notice the trickle of disappearances till she stole the x-mass gift cards out of bags destined for foster kids. Then we fired her and changed the locks. This is like putting out a buffet. The experience caused me to retire my beautiful Orbita winders and get a safe deposit box.

    Agree. I like to keep my watches in inconspicuous places. It won't deter a determined burglar, but I see no reason to advertise their presence.

    Gesus. Sorry to hear, Larry.
    I understood the risks . I’d like my stash to be displayed in my office, which has a metal security door. Invitation only.

    Plus, I have Hodinkee insurance. When Larry’s housekeeper comes for me, Ben Clymer will be in tears. Win-win.

    All my watches are in the bank, minus a couple at home on rotation.

    It all depends on where you live, some places/locations are just higher risk due to density and endemic criminality, other locations are more suburban or rural where crime is very low and neighbors are aware of who is coming and going. Every situation is different. Adjust your behavior to suit your circumstances.
