(I say Rolex watch box in order to keep this thread from being moved by them mods

)

I have been using this rather nasty quality watch box for some time now since it was an Xmas present from my little princess.

The cushions are far too large and the overall quality is really poor, as can't be depicted from the more flattering picture below.

Since she is now asking me what I want for father's day and a decent quality box is what comes to mind. This time we'll be using my money to help her cashflow and avoid the "Aldi" build.

Which half decent watch box would you recommend to keep my Rolex watches in?

This is my current one and you can see the cushion size problem.

no offense but it looks like a coffin

I had the same problem last year and got some great recommendations from the members..

In the end, Mrs. Tools found boxes similar to what I had been using, so now I have a half dozen of these.

They fit in the Safe easily, hold a half dozen so different models, styles, or brands can be easily categorized, and are solid wood with brass fittings...

Yours does look like a little coffin...........Mine has class...

Funny you should mention that Mr Comedian.

I was thinking of changing it.

Which one do you recommend?

Finally some sense.

I'm liking a few of their collectors boxes and I've dealt with Dane on a couple of trades back in the day.

Is that the white Milgauss that someone pushed you into buying

It does look like a place where Rolex's would go to die.

Have you looked at Orbita? They are quite dreamy.

It does, doesn't it? I can almost hear soft organ music playing in the background and the ladies sniffling, and smell the flowers

To paraphrase another cigar smoker: Never have things so nice, been housed so poorly, in something so crappy.

Hi,
I don´t want to comment your current box.
1st I am sure it is not the only one and 2nd it is a present by your Princess so there are some emotions related to this.
Do not like to comment such a present as the other ones... SORRY guys

I fully agree to have a deep lokk on their website, have a few boxs from them.
Good luck

Best
Axel

That one's a keeper (for now).

It has sentimental value due to the tosser that forced me to buy it.

Welshwatchman · 5 April 2009, 07:56 AM

.... and as far as those geniuses regurgitating the "coffin" jibe I note that you are all tight arse non Pledge Members.

Get your hands in your pockets and chip in some change.

Then I promise I'll find your comments hilarious.
