Milos/Watchfan:

Great photos! Man, you've got quite a collection, thanks for sharing!

In regards to how I store my watches, I just lay them down on the counter, far away from any tile floors. I've got a Wolf watch-winder, but Im just too lazy to use it. Id rather let the watch "rest" when Im not using it and reset it when needed.

How do you store well some in boxes others where ever I take them off.Watchwinders are not nessesary and most any winder will do for Rolex watches as they wind both ways, but the best winder is your own wrist.

i know the best winder is my own wrist but i live in New York city. people can spot a Rolex faster than you put your hand in the pocket.guns are everywhere. i feel like my rolex is useless for not wearing her outside too much.
some of the people here have collected more than 10 Rolex but 1 is more than happy for criminal in NYC.

Really? Out of all the times I've been in NY, I've never once worried about my watch?

Same goes for me. From JFK airport we took the train/subway at Jamaica Station all the way to the upper east side in Manhattan. My wife and I walked several hours a day for three days all throughout Manhattan, and never once did I feel like I was in danger. NYC has a bad reputation that it definitely doesn't deserve. Its a very clean, safe city filled with friendly people. One of America's most beautiful and exciting cities.

I don't use a winder, I just give them a few turns, set and wear them.

I keep the sportys together in a box nice and safe so they don't get lonely. Looks like the 14060M Sub is out today.

Well myself have never experienced any problem far east, middle east, and world wide.And can assure you if a thief wants your watch he will take it no matter what the brand.

I have a rotation - 2 of 3 on a watch winder, then 1 on my wrist. The other 3 on my safe.
Rotate every couple of weeks.
