Are Rapport watch boxes good?

Price seems not too crazy and they look pretty good in pictures. Any experience?

I am thinking something like this: https://rapportlondon.com/en-us/prod...watch-box-blue

Yes. I like mine. Much better than most wolf boxes.

There are nicer ones out there though, so by no means the pinnacle

They are nice. Nothing amazing but definitely a step up from the mall stuff. Sometimes they have things for pretty cheap on sale. There are others that I like more but at a big jump up in price. Had a winder too that was a bit odd, didn't just rotate in circles it would kind of jerk around supposedly to mimic the wrist, I definitely prefer my swiss kubiks to those.

I am using Brompton Optic Watch Box (10 slots) and I like the luxurious compartments and cushions. I always chose those with glass display.

Look at the Bosphorus boxes/cases/trunks. They might be the best out there! Also, IMHO the best 8 watch travel/display case is the one by Carapaz. Both absolutely phenomenal brands.

They look okay but I think you can find a nicer box with a better fit and finish for not too much more money.

Do you have any recommendations? I’ve been looking over the brands people have been posting and I didn’t know most of them, so it’s good to get options. I’m always looking for better watch boxes and cases.

I like the bosphorus I have, especially the cushions being squishy so it's easier to fit my wife's watches in there. Biggest issue I have though is the latches are not good, and open a bit too violently. My wife said what the heck it hurts. Wonder if others had the same issue since newer ones I see different latches than the one I got.

I would recommend looking at Bosphorus Leather. The quality is excellent and the customizability is endless. Come Black Friday they have had very substantial deals.

I just bought a Boshorus box last year and my latch is similar. I don't find it violent or anything but I kind of have to push down on the lid and wiggle it a little bit for the latch to pop open. That said I still love it... as Carl said above wait for the black Friday sales.

Love my Heritage 5 Watch box, unfortunately (or fortunately depending on one's POV) I need more slots now so I'm looking at the Heritage 10 Watch box.

Any recommendation for good watch cases with soft rolls for smaller wrist?
