Feel free to send a PM instead if you're more comfortable with that.
Bospherus, as many mentioned, is a good product. Decent leather quality (the leather is not super high-end but i guess 'OK').
I'm not a big fan of how the wall-pieces are attached. Meaning that the ends flap down when not connected and that the middle pieces aren't fixed -i.e. you can remove it completely out of the roll. That's just my own personal preference though.
They smell great, but that is more attributed to the tanning process, than it is the leather quality.
A plus is that the pillows are stitched as opposed to some brands just gluing them. (Cheap chinese rolls... and even Patek..  ) |
Thanks!
I’m looking for a box, I’m probably too particular so I’m willing to compromise on the below if necessary.
1) Wristsize
7”
2) Watches you plan on using it with, how many slots needed? (Some rolls only support up to 11mm thick watches, others max 45mm diameter pieces)
6-9 40/42mm sport watch’s mostly, might get a bigger watch one day but doubtful. Mostly on bracelets if that matters.
2) For travel or for display around the house?
Display around the house. It would primarily sit on a shelf around chest height so it would be nice if the watches could be angled or the box could sit vertically. Lid is optional and it would be nice to have a little compartment for straps.
For pillows I like how the Rolex ones have wings so the watch looks snug but not bunched up.
I like a mix of classic but not antique, and modern but not techy, no carbon fiber or swoopy lines.
Yeah, people rave about the Bosporus, but they just don’t do it for me personally.
I probably would have pulled the trigger on this if it was a 6 slot.

I also kinda liked this:
3) Important to have real leather? Preference to interior? (Natural suede, alcantara, velvet?)
Real leather or wood for the box, natural suede preferred or alcantara.
4) Budget? - Budget is probably the deciding factor in terms of point #4
Under $1,000?
Thanks for any advice! I know I’m probably asking for a lot.
