Watch storage for the lazy person

    I'm very slowly amassing a collection of watches and have about 3 that I rotate throughout the week. I was contemplating buying a watch case, but find the prospect of having to fasten a watch around a miniature pillow after each use moderately tedious. Plus, I am quite un-dexterious.

    I know what some of you may think, "if you really care about your watches, then you'll take the time and effort to store it away properly." Of course I care! But, I am also a lazy person when it comes to certain things. Any suggestions? Anything on Amazon I can buy to remedy this situation?

    Right now, I just lay them flat on a felt lined watch case that came with a past watch purchase, in the living room.

    I have a watch box, but I don't strap the watch to the pillows - just let them sit on top with the strap wrapped around, but not fastened.

    I don't get it, it takes less time to do this than it does to wind the watch. Maybe you need to hire a valet to take it off your wrist, wind it and store it for you :)

    There's lazy and there's careless. If you're going to treat your watches like a set of keys buy a key holder....

    Any recommendations for a watch box? I checked on amazon and most them aren't very appealing.

    Just tell people you keep your collection of Omegas in the Omega Boutique. It's the ultimate in laziness AND thrifty.

    Reminds me of a Steven Wright line:

    I have a large seashell collection which I keep scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen it.

    I call shenanigans to this whole thread. If one is truly lazy, they would lack the motivation to even take on/off said watch. Let alone, expend the energy required to move towards another location and deal with any kind of storage device. A new one is purchased? No problem, the old ones get shoved further up the forearm.

    This guy is the real deal and not a wanna be lazy watch person:
