Wolf designs makes this great Box storage box. It's basically just a regular box you keep the box in except its got the Wolf logo so it costs roughly $1300. If you add $800 you get a box storage box protector box (which is $1500 if you buy it separately). The box storage box protector box is basically a bigger box which you can protect your box storage box (cause c'mon you gotta protect your investments, it's a $1300 box).

I keep them in the safe.

landroverking · 4 June 2013, 04:20 AM

Yes when I get one. Was in a store couple of weeks ago and the owner told me he no longer is selling the box with his used Rolexes as he says they are harder to come by and he likes to display all of his Rolexes in boxes.

ledas1 · 4 June 2013, 04:31 AM

Interesting. Empty Rolex boxes are often for sale on the internet.

subtona · 4 June 2013, 04:46 AM

I kept my first one for twenty years ..... then threw it away.... Then 3 months later decided to sell the watch....

I dont know what my point is:)

donq · 4 June 2013, 04:53 AM

Those red leather type Omega boxes seem bad about that. Mine did the same thing.

My green leather Rolex box however is just fine. Both stored right next to one another on the closet shelf.

HRFdez · 4 June 2013, 04:58 AM

I keep them in a dry place. I have a watch box that I use.

Wolfgang427 · 4 June 2013, 05:07 AM

Yes , keep it stored away safely.......

hpowders · 4 June 2013, 05:22 AM

I mainly keep my Rolex box to easily trade for another watch when I get bored.

MrLee · 4 June 2013, 05:30 AM

Yeh this is standard thing with the red omega boxes. The rolex boxes seem to hold up a hell of a lot better

richardlo · 4 June 2013, 05:53 AM

I usually toss boxes regardless how nice they are, except the Rolex one. I know if I sell or give the watch away the receiver might enjoy having the box with it.

Rich2putt · 4 June 2013, 06:03 AM

Yes

sig-x · 4 June 2013, 06:05 AM

Keep the box in the safe

Watch Professor · 4 June 2013, 06:16 AM

Definitely. If you check the sales pages of various web sites, you will see that the boxes are worth more than the watches.

Magic-Matt · 4 June 2013, 06:20 AM

Absolutamente BIG TIME!

And if its missing anything when I acquire it Im on a mad mission straight away to find it!

jackwebb · 4 June 2013, 06:23 AM

Yes I keep all my watch boxes and papers in a safe spot. Although I have a tendency to keep the box from anything I buy much to the chagrin of my girlfriend.

RolexPete · 4 June 2013, 06:58 AM

I do. Helps with resale value for sure.

Trouble15 · 4 June 2013, 07:00 AM

I keep all the boxes and paperwork.

ingmar · 4 June 2013, 07:02 AM

They're notorious for this. Don't be alarmed. I think many omega fans almost expect it.

I keep my boxes in a closet. I put them in a big ziplock bag and suck out the air.

mrhy · 4 June 2013, 07:03 AM

Am I the only one who keeps his watches in the boxes?

Gerardus · 4 June 2013, 07:03 AM

Box at home,
Papers (separate) in a bank safe

amvd · 4 June 2013, 07:04 AM

Please keep it

How is the protector box protected though???

cop414 · 4 June 2013, 07:21 AM

Yes, I keep all boxes and paperwork, except for my DOXA, that came in a nice foam lined aluminum tube instead of a box!

Wow, that sounds just a bit too complicated for me, a box to protect my box... the box storage box protector box is a bigger box to protect your box storage box...

My Rolex AD told me it would be enough with a 10' x 10' unit but I want the box to be able to breath.

What temperature do you set the air conditioner on and do you have a backup generator in case of a power failure??

My box is in a closet somewhere.

GradyPhilpott · 4 June 2013, 09:14 AM

I have kept all my Rolex boxes and the paperwork and receipts. I doubt I will ever need them for anything, as I don't plan on selling my watches, but they don't take up that much space and they are part of the package.

sirjohnbrian · 4 June 2013, 09:16 AM

Yeah, they're on top of the closet.

GeoGio Greece · 4 June 2013, 09:40 AM

I keep all boxes and papers of all my watches.

Our climate is quite dry most of the year, so they do not deteriorate nor need special attantion.

You need to let them breath once or twice per year, and smell this leather aroma.
