Black Diamond 0 Posted June 16, 2013 As my collection increases, 7 currently with another 3 on the way, I'm looking into what sort of watch box to purchaayz. I'm not particularly feeling the wooden box or glass top route as I feel it's a little too old school for my taste so I have been looking at funky alternatives. Pelican cases to be more precise. If you have not heard about Pelican cases they are hard ABS shell boxes or cases with foam inners, they are watertight, impact resistant and lockable. Generally these type of cases are suited to carrying any type of fragile or expensive equipment, so watches are just purrrfect. I've been looking at the 1470 setup as per this link - http://wornandwound.com/2012/03/19/diy-pelican-watch-case/ I'd be interested to see what you guys are using to keep your watches nice and snug.

skin_oi_skin 0 Posted June 16, 2013 It's wood and has a glass top. But it's repurposed wood from detroit and is just so damn beautiful I wouldn't trade it for the world or a jlc navy seals diver. . Also I forgot to post it. Damn you crown royal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted June 16, 2013 Shot is a little out of date, but this is the larger of my two watchboxes. There's also a lower drawer, which is used by my wife. Total capacity is 40 watches. I also have a basic 10-capacity Acetimer box with a glass top that holds my 47mm PAMs. Note the vintage TV under it - I expect to get a fortune for that on RG...

poisiklutt 0 Posted June 16, 2013 I vector designed it myself and then it was laser cut and clued in a laser-studio. The drilling and installing hinges I did myself. My fiance Anni did the pendant. I wanted something very airy and transparent. Let's be honest, watches are for viewing, even if they are in the box! Plexiglas is soft enough material not to scratch the timepieces! Did the box knowingly with twenty-five slots, because, after all, important is quality not quantity. If I want a new watch, I have to sell on off a before new purchase! Never more then 25! That number works out well for me and then all the watches get enough wrist time! If you want to view it bigger click here: http://nagi.ee/photos/photo_sizes.php?id=22454600&size=o All my watches are here! http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=49811&hl=&fromsearch=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffw69 0 Posted June 16, 2013 Old pic from maybe a year ago. Got it on Amazon, see thru top, 10 wide slots with cushion on top and a drawer with wide slots and cushions on the bottom: Cool wooden box handmade by Donerix on the right and a 2-watch travel case which was a gift from Toro: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
