Hi folks

Now that you have made me buy several watches I was wondering how you serial collectors store your watches?

Only have two top end watches, but all of mine are kept in the original boxes in a safe.

As above, I store most of my watches in a 300 kilo safe which is located in a small room out of whose door it doesnt fit.

Watches I wear more often I keep in a small hotel safe.

That's not a bad idea chaps but I've only got some G's biggrin

Nothing high end here so a safe would probably be over kill. I was thinking more of a display type of thing so i can see them...

My beaters (eg Gs) are either thrown into a box or dumped on the window sill if they are solar-powered.



The others are hidden in a Ninja cave guarded by hungry tigers and very, very cute but distracting kittens.

I know I really ought to say in their original cases, in a safe guarded by Ghurkhas and a bwildering array of James Bond gadgetery. In reality, they tend to find their way into pots and drawers and table tops around the house.

I was looking for my JLC reverso the other day when my wife said it was last seen being worn by Sophia. Sophia is a teddy bear belonging to my 4 year-old daughter....

Note to self: be less irresponsible...

Pulp Fiction. Stored 'in his ass' for five years to prevent it being stolen by NVA captors.

Usually the safest hiding place for a valuable watch.

Actually its a good place to store a watch for seven years, as it was five years in Butch's father's ass and a futher two years in Captain Koon's ass.

That a lot of ass-time! biggrin
