Though not really a secret now
It's an old side table/pot stand that I modified for use as a watch box.
The idea being that it looks like an ordinary piece of furniture with the storage hidden under the hinged top.
And when the lid's up a nice display for showing off......
Comments welcome

That's pretty cool. I'm looking to do something similar for my collection.
Nice, good idea.
Beats my Argos 3 watch holder!!!!!
What a great secret for a public watch forum!

Very nice Alan, now post a pic of the big one!
I need one!
Great idea but bad presentation (well,good presentation for me-bad=thieves will see this)...
Wonder how many on the forum have hiding places aways from their wifes???
Looking great, will work much better than a safe
probably a lot :)
A little lace tablecloth and a vase of flowers on top and no-one would know.
Except for us.
i do like that, very tastefull
Your secret is safe with us!
I try, but she keeps finding me.
Love the table storage.
Or your safe is secret with us?
I think you need a proper catch underneath that lid rather than just the sping clip, otherwise the next time the wife picks it up to move it all your watches are gonna fall out (assuming she doesn't know where they are:-)).
Nice discrete job though, well done.
Very good
I hope you've no dogs though, as that looks like the type of thing to get knocked over
Very very classy! Mine are living (still undiscovered) in the drawer which contains all my fishing magazines.
Nice idea, certainly not somewhere a budding thief would be looking!
Many thanks for all your comments!
Here you go Mike...
Jaysus, you'd want to put some fire resistant paint/varnish on that dresser, just in case ...Many thanks for all your comments!

a GS owner always told his wife when being asked...it's just another Seiko...and deliberately missed the "Grand"
Like one Swiss guy telling his wife... it´s another Rolex... pfff
Dapper: do you watchwind the hole table or just a watch? :)
Hi mate,
you are realising that the content in the Watch Talk forum is there to see for everyone on the internet? Given the possibilities of the web, someone could be standing outside (or inside, for that matter) your door tomorrow to check out your little secret.
Just a hint, have a good weekend

Someone who lies about the little things will lie about the big things too.
Now you just gotta tell us your address.
You beat me to it! Good execution of the idea though..
Bit late for that, they've had his carpet already! ;-)
I'm on love with thos cabinets!! cool as F*&$!
"Sounds like visitors"
Haha, that's a good reply!

Smart idea that! Hope it doesn't get knocked with the Hoover and go flying tho..
Many thanks for all your comments!

i really like that - inspiring
Wow, this is amazing! :)
Looks good although I'd want an internal latch rather than the external, and make it 'lockable' so that if the thief is the kind that will smash stuff up for the sake of it threw it about it wouldn't come open.
About a year ago i was thinking about somewhere, easily and quickly accessible, covert but secure and lockable, to store watches the were being worn quite regularly but not everyday.
I came up with a brilliant idea (if I say so myself) It's secure but 'hidden in plain site' strong as a safe, easy to access in seconds but 'locked' Oh and it only cost £20 and took 15 mins to modify and install !
I'm bursting to tell you all but of course that would defeat the object
Is it one of those little safe things that look like a double plug socket on the wall?About a year ago i was thinking about somewhere, easily and quickly accessible, covert but secure and lockable, to store watches the were being worn quite regularly but not everyday.

No nothing that you would buy over the counter, that's the beauty of it.

I've got a hard disc in a hollowed-out book, but it's not really a suitable place to keep watches.
Lovely pieces of furniture both! But the big one is quite something! A bit tantalizing though as I can't make out what books you have there on side shelves
You safe-queens!! I have them all visible right next to the head on a spike from the last burglar

..geez, this is giving theives new ideas of where to look..
..as clever as it is, there is a downside..
Coolness level 100/100....
Here you go Mike
I need one !!!
Nicely done!
No point of hiding a watch for the missus. "They all look the same". You just need to pick up the post invoice, before she can see it!
