Reply With QuoteLike it, nice collection as well. That is just the sort of box I should have bought, would have stopped the collection at 3 & saved me a bit of cash lol.
.....and cheeky SOTC.
Whilst googling "watch boxes" on Sunday AM I found this from M & S.
It arrived today and is fantastic value at £15. The wood finish is great quality. It's a bit low rent inside but is fine for what I need it for.

Like the box. Like your collection more. Great choice of 3.

thanks for the heads up, just ordered, see what they are like
I use the aldi teabag boxes but these look much smarter!
Ordered - thanks
+1, collecting on Thursday.Originally Posted by amnesia
Ordered - thanks
Thanks for the heads up.
Haha, this is funny, whatever works ay.
Thanks OP, I've ordered one - saves my watches knocking together in my safe tray.
I just ordered one! €20 for me. Thanks for the heads up!
Do people feel happy using a wooden box? I get nervous that the watch will get marked, so I buy leather...or soft plastic...boxes.
Looks very good for the money to me
This, and the fact that I am surfing internet via mobile device (cant see pics as well as on my laptop) is the only thing stopping me from buying one.
With a little bit of DIY and some nice material placed inside would keep watches safe from any marks.

The wood doesn't touch the watches

There is a genuinely terrible joke there somewhere. Thanks for the info. Will get one ordered. :-)
I received one of those as a Christmas gift, found that the pillows are to big for my watches with bracelets (adjusted for my 7 inch wrist).
Nice box and collection. Thanks for the heads up.
Will probably do that although as others have pointed out. It's a static watch box not a travel case.
I see many more pics of watches on rocks/the ground/fence posts which make me cringe...
I agree ;/! The worst is seeing a watch placed on a rock beside the coast. How can anyone do that.

Nervous about wood touching metal? I'm not that precious about any of my watches.
It's just a matter of time...
My watch sits on the wooden beside table so I'd have no issue using a wooden box and that looks decent value. Are the cushions soft, i.e. Suitable for watches sized pretty small ?
Box looks nice.
I keep my half dozen in a drawer. How many put their watches into a safe?

I am a bit reluctant to let a wooden box touch metal; especially gold which is so soft. Wood can scratch and mark a watch, as plenty of people will have experienced. I think I would at least line the box with chamois leather or something soft.
Incidentally, I would have thought that one of the most common causes of damage is knocking against a door frame. Far greater force of course, but with valuable watches, why take a risk? I would line the box, even some felt and a bit of glue should be fine.
Looks good value, just ordered. My watches have hit enough door frames that they won't mind touching a watch box by accident.
Thank you to watchmad for the head's up
Why take the risk? Because my watches were bought to be worn - I like the fact they pick up a few marks which displays their use. I can't see how some wood is going to adversely affect my steel watches, never mind my 18k ones. I do appreciate that this hobby brings out the best and worst of OCD behaviours but not using a wooden box, or wanting to line it with Chamois just seems so far removed from enjoying my watches, I'd rather not bother.
It's just a matter of time...
I might start a poll.
Would you rather:
Touch wood?
Or
Touch cloth?
It's a squeeze. My 6.75 watches fit the soft cushions. The are soft on the middle and stiff on the edges which creates a bit of protection.

After a night out on the beer I have often nearly touched cloth.I might start a poll.

Looks pretty good for £15

Just ordered mine, collect it on Sunday.
Great for £15 but too bulky. Going to stick with my other box
Bought one myself

Still a little new round here but isn't the major problem that it only has space for 3 watches?
Not when I only own 4

I collected mine from M&S and handed it straight back for a refund.....I bought in haste.
That type of cushion I find too big for my watches and the compartments are not wide enough to lay a watch on its side.
I already have an outstanding order for 4 boxes at a total of £13.48 which will suit my needs better.

I can lay my watches down, the boxes are padded and the cushions are adjustable by taking out wadding.
'Buy in haste, repent at leisure'....Ho-Hum.

The wood case looks great, but for the same price...

Great if you have 8 watches and none on leather with deployant which don't lie flat.
Great price but bulky for one watch. Nice as a travel case.

Not really, will make me think twice before buying number 4, although "wear one, store three"
I love mine . The 45mm seawolf fits perfectly

Very true, but none of my watches are leather with deployant. Only trouble is, I would need about fifteen-twenty cases for my whole collection!
Well, 2 of my watches are so the box I was giving a heads up on is perfect
Good value for £15 can't really go wrong
Returned mine. Cushions were huge and felt like it was only worth £15. The wolf one I have for about £40 is much better although it does 6 watches I will keep an eye out for a 3 watch roll
I agree. Definitely only worth £15.
Looks very much like the boxes etc constantly being flogged at Camden market.
