Where do you store your watches?
Winder? Watch box? Leave it on the dresser?

Watch box and sometimes dresser when I want to regulate a bit. I am paranoid that I'll slap it off the dresser in one of my groggy stupors though, so mostly watch box.

In rotation = Home Safe.
Not in rotation = Bank Safe Deposit Box

My autos and my manuals alike are in a winder. I had a few spare slots and like everything on display in one area of the home.

I should do the same; I have too many different people working in my house to keep them on winders out in the open.

Currently I keep the few in rotation in a watch box and most of the rest in a bank safe. Every few months I go to the bank to rotate several and it feels like Christmas morning.

In a winder but just bought a safe so they will go in the winder in the safe. The one I am wearing just sits on the counter at night.

Safe deposit box at the bank. I only keep one out at a time and normally when I leave the house I'm wearing it.

Bank safe deposit boxes are a rarity in the UK (outside of London)

When I had a bigger collection it was split between two home safes at different locations and always covered with insurance, now my collection is smaller (2 watches) they are kept in my home safe or on my wrist, again fully insured.

The expensive ones live at the bank.

The rest live in a drawer at home.

On one of 3 quad winders when I'm not wearing it. I live on the 12th floor of a 24 hr concierge controlled building so I'm not concerned about them.
