Hi my friends

Last night i was cleaning my watch store when i put the boxes and papers …. How do you store those things? It’s important to you ? For me it’s almost another part of my watch ….. here is mine

tifosi · 1 February 2023, 05:25 AM

I store my boxes in the back of my closet. I do like your setup though!

Newt · 1 February 2023, 05:27 AM

I just stick them all in one of those big plastic storage containers, like a big Tupperware and then stick them in a closet.

wesdaniel · 1 February 2023, 05:27 AM

I store my boxes in storage cases on the top shelf of my closet. Papers, warranty cards, bracelet links, etc. go in the safe

123Blueface · 1 February 2023, 05:29 AM

One are all in the safe along with watches.

Same here. Boxes are generally replaceable.

tifosi · 1 February 2023, 05:28 AM

Every time I open my closet I yell...

"box and papers, bro"

Sorry, I had to.

They take up too much space.

This happens whenever I open the door

On a shelf in the safe. Luckily the 'collection' is down to two and doesn't take up much room.

Seddyspaghetti · 1 February 2023, 06:02 AM

I toss em.

In my closet that is.

nocaps · 1 February 2023, 06:45 AM

Tim Plains · 1 February 2023, 06:58 AM

Everything inside the box it came in, closet shelf, no zip lock bags.

cdmorenot · 1 February 2023, 06:59 AM

Warranty card and spare links inside the safe. Everything else somewhere in a closet.

UhOH … I was supposed to keep all that stuff?

fsprow · 1 February 2023, 07:06 AM

Papers in individual folders in secure file. Wooden and other high quality boxes in storage, cheesy boxes (Rolex…) in the dumpster.

The good life of been rich ha ha ha

TheWatchmen · 1 February 2023, 07:07 AM

FWIW I keep mine in a faraday time capsule buried underneath the goal post on the home team side at my high school, along with some memorabilia from that time. You know, things like Beatles albums, some bell bottoms, and a few high potency Quaaludes from Germany.

I can’t wait to dig it up one day and reminisce while thumbing through the pristine pages of the user manuals when I’m 80.

So much effort

Just like I’m sure when I pass down my watches to my kids they’ll treasure them, until they pass them down to their kids, and not hock them for a down payment on a house - because the watches are far more important.

pursang_ · 1 February 2023, 07:11 AM

Before the boxes became idiotic you could fit two or three in a shoe box with some room left over for other boxes (like Nomos wooden cases)

Now I'd peddle the box on fleabay and put the papers in a fireproof bag.

Mr Ben · 1 February 2023, 07:13 AM

Back of the wardrobe. Do I get a prize if my watch boxes are also still in the retailers’s bags? They are. Even the one I bought grey came from the grey dealer in its original Watches of Switzerland bag…

Have a dedicated place called “the basement”. Optimal with no natural light to preserve the colour of the sleeve and box
