    Watch Storage

    Interested to get some ideas for a watch box. I have a leather box with a glass window in the lid which holds 10 watches, but never been that keen on the glass window. Seen the Pelican cases but they are too heavy duty for home use and keeping watches in a small safe.

    What do you use as a store for watches, apart from a cardboard box or plastic bag?

    I'm looking to get a Pelican case though, as you say, it's not the prettiest thing in the world.

    I bought some cheap old box (£9.99) off ebay. It's made of faux leather with a Perspex lid and houses 10 watches.

    It holds the watches safely and is locked up out of sight in a safe.

    Good enough for what it does.

    The Lidl Beech tea box . They occasionally come on sale. The columns are designed to take tea bags. I used central heating pipe insulation foam for the watches cut the width of the columns. I also stuck green felt at the bottom of each column to prevent scratching. Works very well for storage.

    Used to use an Amazon tea box holding 12, perfectly great but the above was a present for my 40th and I'm VERY pleased with it!

    I recently bought this one from Amazon. I dislike glass lids so this seemed ideal for about £30.

    I'm pleased with it.

    Jury's out on watch winding....I think just about everyone has a view for or against this but in my case (sorry) my collection actually has quite a few manual watches, so winding not top of the list. And then there's the price of Rapport!!

    Looks great. Do you remember what it was called or who it was made by?

    was it this one?:
