Where do you store your Rolex ?
I have had this watch box for a couple of years and it is getting a little grubby. It was only a £15 box back then due to a fault with the lock.
I am on the look for something a bit more befitting, perhaps a Rappaport box. Where do you store yours?

I've got a couple of open slots in my storage box if you want to send some over for safekeeping.

Didn't we have a recent post where one of our members had his Rolex stored amongst his wife's sexy lingerie?

Very nice everyone. Don't you worry about thieves though? It would seem prudent to buy some sort of safe for such a cool collection. Especially with jewelry insurance riders being pretty expensive...

My wife has two nice matching cherry jewelry boxes on top of the dresser; my watch box used to be in the middle. Having recently becoming concerned with theft, I had her take out all her really good stuff and put it in a safe. I also put my watch box in the safe. No crooks gettin' my stuff without a fight!

Thanks Mike, however, I feel like a pauper compared to yours.
BTW, if you don't mind, how old are you and how long have you been in "the game"?

Just like Christopher Walken from the movie "Pulp Fiction" I store my Rolexes up my A**!!!
That was such a funny scene though. If you havent watched Pulp Fiction yet I recommend you do. One of the best movies ever made!! The real answer to the question though, I store my watches on separate Orbita winders that I keep inside a wooden cabinet with a glass door. Oh and by the way, the watch that Christopher Walken is holding in the picture below is in fact a vintage Rolex watch. I could not find a clearer picture of the watch though so my apologies.

Most of them live in this storage box that I keep in the house with another two in a winder thats kept in the spare bedroom.
My wife won't let me have any 'watch stuff' on display downstairs!
