Where do you put your Rolex when its off your wrist?

Do you put it straight back into the safe for the next day?
Or do you have a specific ornament or a watch display you guys use?

Pics would be great,

my routine would be take the watch off after wearing and set it down on a facecloth while it awaits another wearing or a trip to the save


So really whats your interim setup?

No safe for me. Just a simple watch case on the dresser with individual pockets for each watch. If a burglar ever entered my home they would hit the jackpot.

I put them in Oakley Vaults, which are basically identical to the casebudi's selling on Amazon now that Oakley discontinued the line.

Watch box on th night stand. If I travel I put everything not on my wrist in the safe. I invest in a home security system and smith and wessons, so I'm not too worried about much... ;)

I have only two watches, so I put back the one I'm not wearing into its original box. The one I'm wearing is on the bedside table.
I sometimes wish I had a watch box but they usually come with 5 slots at least
and I am afraid seeing so many empty slots would urge me to purchase more watches.

I have a winder with storage in the the top compartment that sits on top of my dresser, they go in there. I have a home security system, a St. Bernard (who really doesn't like people other than us) and Mr's: Smith & Wesson in the nightstand as well.

Dresser drawer unless I know I'm not wearing it the next day in which case it goes in the safe and tomorrow's piece comes out and spends the night in my tie drawer.

You've liked the idea?

~~~thanks for the top tip! I've been using a micro fiber cloth to clean our (wife's and mine) phones nightly, just before hooking them up to the charger, so I took the micro fiber cloth to my Speedy just now, and I swear it looks better=:-) Normally, I clean my Speedy with a tooth brush, liquid-dish soap and water (couple drops of soap in a small amount of water) then a rinse, every few weeks. that seemed to keep it clean for me but the micro fiber towel, it just adds something. Thanks again!
