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.

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"?

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

I believe there has been a thread on the topic "Where do you keep your Rolex" before?

And didn't you once state that you kept your Rolex in a drawer between your underwear??

I believe you wrote it in THIS thread below:

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...

Used to not care, but as stuff added up in $$$$, I thought otherwise.

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!

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!
