My first watch, apologies for the poor phone quality photo. Opted for a Bulova over a Daniel Wellington based off a few suggestions in here as well as the first few posts in this thread.

Can't wait to start building my own collection of watches

Anyone have a watch case or just keep them in their respective boxes?

Nixon is probably your best bet.

I actually keep mine laid out in a leather "ashtray" thing I got in Florence.

Whats your price range? You know this is necessary or else I'll recommend some $20k safe.

Buben & Zorweg makes some nice watch cases.

Can't go wrong with Orbita either.

Modalo, Venlo, Mitch & Marc, Rainer, Scatola, etc...


Lots of choices out there.

illPhilip - Mine are laid out, but not on leather..

hahah @ 20k safe, damn I didn't think it was this intense... hold up

(goes to google names mentioned)

illphillip Do you mean a valet? Those are so convenient for watches, keys, wallet, etc.

I normally keep it in the box, because I wear my watch maybe once a month. If I wore it more often I would use my valet.

Anyone use a winder?

 

[illphillip]

I guess

I keep my watches in custom made wood watch box. I chuck the boxes but keep the manuals and warranties. Higher end pieces, I would keep everything.

[22stylez]

Can anyone recommend me a nice watch box that can store multiple watches?

For a watch box, have you guys considered a Pelican case?

I just got a 1170 that I am going to wok on in the near future, just been too lazy.

It's cool and you got a carrying case that is dust proof, water proof and just an overall great protection.

The foam is customization to your specifications with it's pluck and pull foam and cases comes in plenty of sizes for your needs.

This is of course not ideal if you want to display your watches but I think this is better for security purposes, you can hide it under the bed or somewhere out of sight while in a display case, someone breaks and they grab that one box and all your watches are gone.

Prices on these aren't bad either, some of the smaller ones that can fit 2 watches go for $20-$25? The bigger ones can go from $45-$120.

Nothing flashy, but waiting for this in the mail as my first watch.

Figured for its price and being my first, I should keep it simple to get used to the feel of a watch on my wrist daily.
