Cases with individual pillows mostly. One stand up rack that allows 4 that are most commonly worn to sit on the pad with the bracelets hanging below (and spaces for my ring, pocket knife, keys, etc. in a small attached box). But I do have several cases.

 

That's cool. Hadn't considered the idea of having some kind of preferential treatment for those I might want to wear more often as I am a bit lazy and do not rotate that often. Maybe something like this would make me appreciate what I have a little more and give them more wrist time. Like the fact you can keep 'extras' in it too.

 

A watch box with 8 watches on pillows and some more in drawers for me. 3 on wooden stands next to the box. Some integrated straps or leather straps with folding clasps don't work that well with either pillows or drawers..

 

almost my exact setup, its the way to go

 

If you've got more than a handful of watches, you'd probably benefit from using a watch box. I use one with a glass lid, so can I pass by and glance in to figure out if there's something different that I'd like to wear, or if what I have on is good for the day.

 

I use a glass top watch box, and it’s just a cheap o from Amazon. Works great.

Oh, and my two solar watches are on the windowsill in the bedroom. The Atomic Clock one likes that location best as we have trouble receiving the signal from Colorado here in the mountains north of Atlanta.

 

Top shelf flat on their backs. All my best stuff goes on the top shelf. Pieces, timepieces, blades and such.

 

Just on the shelf on their own? Not in their boxes or any form of watch box? I would need a high shelf to make sure the kids could not decide to get curious about watches.

 

 

Hell no . Is that the 'parts bin'?

 

An 8 slot glass top box

 

Glass top 10 slot watch box for the Eco Drives facing a window with light.
18 slot tower watch case for the watches I use the most.
3 ten slot watch boxes for the ones that I don't use that much.
Some watches are stored in their original boxes.
I rotate them in and out of a safe, in my safe room...... Except for the Eco Drives.

 

I keep 6 of my regular wearers in open display on watch stands. Similar to the 4 in the photo.
The rest get to hang out in a watch box on the shelf.

 

Until spring, I kept my watches in their original boxes. However, as there seems to be a tendency among manufacturers to make the boxes bigger and bigger, I treated myself to a super-expensive Timepiece Home “The Box” for 12 watches made of American cherry wood for my birthday.

 

That’s a nice box

 

I have an 8 slot, glass topped wooden box with a pull out drawer on the bottom that sits on the nightstand. The 8 I need at a moment's notice go there, along with my daily carry benchmades, ring, and one or two of my favorite straps. Then, there's a drawer in the nightstand that has second tier, cold storage for nicer watches and potential straps that still deserve the care but might not be worn much. In the third drawer of the nightstand, there's my old 10 slot watch box. This is deep storage in case of nuclear holocaust and I've got a few sentimental pieces as well as pieces that I love but anger me for some reason or another, such as my Seiko kinetic GMT that seems to eat capacitors as a main function. Then, as per my wife's "helpful nature", I also have probably 4 ziploc freezer bags in the guest room closet full of casios, various affordables, random straps, and my childlike enthusiasm.

 

Non worn watches I store in a watchbox in a safe, I rotate a watch out weekly and will just leave it near my bed stand when not in use.

 

Pelican cases, all with custom foam inserts.

Glass tops for my solar, RC, AT, etc.....

Then all in my T-45 rated gun safe for extra protection.

 

But do they fit in your sock drawer?🤔

 

Inexpensive twenty-pillow wooden boxes with a glass panel in the lid.

 

20 slot glass top/bottom drawer watch box.
Unfortunatley I have more than one and all are full.

 

I use a cheap watch box (from Amazon) which is kept in a drawer.

 

I store one on my wrist at all times. The other ones hang on hooks screwed into the bottom of a gun rack. I like the grab 'n go nature of this setup when I want to swap watches.

 

3 Separate Watch Boxes:

1. 1 10 insert Watchbox (wood with glass top) that houses all quartz and/or <$1000 watches
2. 1 6 insert Watchbox (actually a soft pleather AliX case) that houses all my HMT watches and my Airavata
3. 1 8 insert Watchbox ( Invicta Pelican Case) that houses what's left which are my >$1000 Auto/Mechs

I also have 2 pocket watches and a vintage WEWC that sit in a small $1 plastic crayon box that I snagged at Michaels.

 

I choose to keep my watches in a safe place, not on display. I use these boxes I found (or they were suggested by someone here, I don't recall) on Amazon:

It's a portable case, zippered, with no glass. Nice for occasional travel to the NAWCC regional chapter meetings. The black leather-like cover has a sort of ostrich-grain to it. I have six, stacked two-high (though I think you could stack more if you prefer). I also purchased a sack of silica gel packets to keep moisture under control, and bake them once a month for a couple hours at a low temperature to recharge them. Each slot gets one packet. Not sure if there's any danger of the silica gel packets sucking the movement dry of lubrication though? Many of my watches are simple snap-back vintage watches that have no moisture resistance.

 

I have an 8 watch winder for the ones I wear most often. Also have a 4 watch winder w/ 6 non-winding slots below for the manual winders & others that I don't wear all that often.

Then I have a glass topped 20 watch box for those that I hardly wear.

As for winder vs. no winder, I think it's a bit ridiculous to not have watches you rotate on a winder. It's like you don't drive your car because that causes wear & tear. I don't live in fear, lol

I also do not like to be setting the time every time I grab a different watch than the one I've been wearing the last few days.

 

Pre house burglary…..on watchwinders in the spare bedroom.

Post house burglary…..in plastic pouches in a safe deposit box, with whatever I’m wearing for the day either on, or in a watch box.

 

Wood Cigar box with the humidifier removed. I never seemed to catch on with watch boxes and pillows I prefer them just loose.

 

I buy nice watch boxes and then pile all the watches on top of the boxes.

 

This is where I fear I shall end up

 

6-watch box for those on bracelet, and inexpensive felt drawer tray for the rest. Latter does not have dividers - I am just careful not to scratch them against each other.
