    Nice Watch Box?

    I'm currently looking for a small box (~5 watches). The only ones I can seem to find are on Amazon and that is where I got my main 20 watch box, which is cheaply made and basically crap.

    Can someone suggest some nice boxes or sites to look at? Thanks in advance.

    I don't know if it's the nicest box you can find but here is a 6 watch holder for $19.99 [on clearance] at Bed Bath & Beyond's website. [link below]

    Re: Nice Watch Box?

    The other option is to contact one of the private artisan watchbox makers. They do some really nice work, if you want a piece of art as a watchbox. A bit more epxensive but you'll have it for a lifetime. I got one from Mark Pashia (mr2blue) ... they are beautiful, albeit substantially more expensive then the on-line ones.

    Just another way to look at it.

    Best of luck,

    Ironic. I just bought the same box the other day. It works for holding watches and looks great from 3ft.

    Plus:
    Cheap
    Leather(or similar to leather) outside with nice stitching
    Tray design
    Capacity

    Minus:
    Not high quality
    Watch slot bottoms are wood, could lead to possible scratches on the clasps
    Worthless locking mechanism

    Cant go wrong here for 19.99.

    You have to take the tray out from underneath in order to use with the larger watches. If not the bezels will hit the glass display. The width of the actual slots is 50mm, it can easily accommodate my 44mm PAM homage. Ill attempt to gets some pics up tonight.
