Where does your baby sleep?

I want some kind of box to put my Sub in at night, but don't know what to get.

I dont want to use the original box, because I want to keep it pristine.

I do only have one watch, and don't "plan" to own toooooo many...

Thoughts?

Maybe a used one that isn't pristine? ~$100 or so on eBay...

There are LOT of watch display cases. Get one with about 4-12 slots. You know you are going to get more...

Or... if you don't want anyone to know where it is....

I put my sub in the ashtray over night, for the purists, no worries, I quit smoking many years ago so it is clean.

First all my babies are now grown up and mature men,just place your watch on the bed side table. Its made of S.steel one on the toughest materials known to man.And can assure you no Rolex watch wants any sort of pampering its built as a tool watch and made to last.A special box or special cloth etc is not needed in any way for any watch Rolex or any other.

My 16610 sleeps on a winder as I rotate it with my other watches....just a query, will my sub be overworked that is having to run non-stop for years as it is on a winder all the time?
