How to stash many Rolex(s) in a small volume

Is your collection too large for a small sized safe?

Are your watches stored inside boxes? Pouches?

My poor man's solution was to cut a plastic container to size and to keep all watches protected inside original Rolex/Tudor service pouches.

If you'd you care to share any different (certainly better) approach than mine, please write on!

Well, @Dan S, now you can be sure I'm stuck in the seventies for good!

I use these leather and canvas Dan Henry watch rolls. The first two I got free with my first Dan Henry watches a few years ago, then I bought a couple more from their website soon after. They're really durable and practical, and were only about $30 each.

Mine are in kids-type pencil cases - the safety-deposit box is thin and narrow, this was the best solution I could find to have them organized, separated, and protected. No pics because they're all at the bank! My insurer quoted me a ridiculous sum for keeping them at home, even if in a safe, so I keep them 'round the corner instead for $60 per year.

I use freezer bags (if they are good enough for Mike Wood they are good enough for me)

Yeah. No reasonable insurance solutions for watches here in Canada. At least none I have found.

I managed to get mine all covered, but only for house burglary.

I use silverware felt rolls.

A. I'm cheap and rather spend my money on the watches.

B. I already had ready access to them.

C. They work very well, no tarnish material and soft so no scratching,

D. I have way too many watches to be spending real money on them

The only trick is to make sure you get the right size.

I went trough different solution, I even made my own watch rolls, one in canvas and one in leather, but lately I ordered a bunch of this and I love them, they are $9/each and they do a pretty good job, you can stack them to save space and you can use it for travel

Very cool, but these will increase the volume substantially, as bracelets are not touching casebacks (protected by the pad, as in my picture).

It wouldn't work for me, but nice indeed!
