watch box for those with larger wrists

I'm looking for a watch box for 8-10 watches that works well for those with larger wrists (about 7.75 inch) and larger watches (like the Deepsea 44).
Most of the popular boxes I've seen (from Wolf and other brands) have pillows which are too small, so my watches don't really fit securely in those.

Any suggestions for boxes that come with larger pillows (or which can be ordered as an option)? Thanks.

Reach out to these folks. If they don’t have anything already made that you want they can make anything custom for you.

Have you tried the standard Wolf pillows? I am a 7.25 and the standard pillows barely fit around my watches. I would think a 7.75 would be fine.

FWIW - I have two Wolf triples and they’re great. Dead silent.

I'm 7.75 - 8.00. Yes, I tried the Wolf pillows. They were a bit too small unfortunately, e.g., my watches would slide around which isn't ideal if transporting the box. So I'm basically looking for something like the Wolf boxes but with larger pillows.

Benson Black Series - best watch box I have ever bought, very high quality item and I'd buy it again - pillows are just over 7.5".

You have to order from Europe, and they recently discontinued this one - which is normally around $400, but there is one currently listed on eBay... he's had it listed for some time and it's currently $195 OBO:

I like that. Big fan of carbon fiber.

Just be careful out there kids … fancy watch boxes or any box holding multiple luxury watches is a dangerous thing to position regardless of your security system and hard to fit in bank box.

This is great, that is an awesome movie. Not applicable to me though, I have my colonoscopy scheduled in a few weeks...

I have a couple of these. They come in brown or black,
https://www.amazon.com/HOUNDSBAY-Mar...67&sr=8-7&th=1

My wrist is a touch under 7.5. The photos show a sample size of watches - I believe the Breitling is 46 and the DJ41 is not 41. My DJ41 has all the links and there is only very slight compression in the pillow. I am happy with this box choice.

Insurance. Alarm. And my home safe is 400lbs, bolted down, and my Benson box fits in it.

Oh, and two 100lbs+ dogs.

Carapaz cases take the big stuff well, 8.25 inch I think
Beautifully made as well.
