    New 6 watch box holder - Kellotarvike

    I normally store my watches in their own boxes and some in my watch winder but I spotted this really nice watch box from a company based in Finland, only cost €105! Ill take some picks when it arrives and give it a review. Link below.

    Yes, does look good.

    Please let us know what the quality is like when you get it, cheers.

    Looks very similar/identical to my 18 watch version that was supplied by Rainer Shuster who's based in Germany. They've been discussed on here and other watch forums for a few years now and the boxes are held in high regard.

    He also trades on ebay as user 'finestboxes'.

    The box has landed.

    Quality is everything I would expect for €105 (very good, but not "luxury"). Good quality metalwork. Almost perfect fit/finish. Nicely lined lid.
    Very good information flow and tracking throughout.

    The pads are quite a tight interference fit -- in one sense desirable, but I shall have to be careful if I wish to avoid abrasion damage.









    Definitely reminds me to extract the digit in expanding my little "collection".

    The pictures on finestboxes's ebay page are identical to the ones on the Finnish web page, so it's the same box. Price is almost the same as well.

    There was a description in German (and not Finnish) on the inner packaging of the box I received from Finland -- so, I suspect it is indeed a German box resold by the Finns. Got mine in four days.

    That looks great, puts my £15 one to shame! Might have to be my next purchase (and then another few watches to fill it).

    I'm up to five.

    Not to the taste of Rolex diver aficionados, but I love its simple elegance. I also love the GO calibre 36.

    What is the height like? Reason I ask is my box isn't quite tall enough to accommodate some of the larger watches on a deployant like my Dornbluth and PAM so I end up having to store them upside down in order to avoid the lid hitting the top of the watch which is kind of pointless really

    My Panoreserve on deployant sits up quite high, but still has headroom.

    I have a Rainer one, which looks exactly like this and there is plenty of clearance between the crystal and the lid for my Avenger Seawolf, which is the thickest watch I own (18.4 mm).
