Hi,

I have recently purchased a safe and installed it in my attic. As I only wear my watch on the weekends, I think it’s best to store it in the safe during the week.

I have a new build property so it’s quite well insulated, but do you foresee any issues with temperature affecting the watch in any way? The watch is currently in its original box but I could purchase something better if required?

Thanks

Rob

I think it will be safe.

In all seriousness, my watch will be stored for a length of time in this environment not a quick dunk in the water lol

Nice watch!

I use a WatchBox.

Your Rolex will be fine. You can store them anywhere and they will outlast you.

Nice storage box

Cheers mate

Well, I store my watches in a safe at home, each in a pair of socks, retired and clean, hehe
Never even had a thought about the temperature and humidity. These are built like tanks so I’m sure they will survive in my safe

Sounds like a ball ache to be honest. Why don’t you wear in the week? What do you do for work?

Tools · 30 November 2019, 08:22 AM

Your watch really doesn't know what the temperature is.

After my house was burglarized, I put my jewellery and watches in the safe at the bank.

So far I have only recovered the Omega Speedmaster and I was lucky to been wearing my Rolex on the day.

Nice watch!

The point is, you won’t be storing it for extended periods of time in an environment that is submerged in water.

New build quality is bad, but not that bad.

Your watch will be fine.

article about safety deposit boxes has steered me away from doing that.

Your safe is in your attic? As in unfinished attic with no lights besides that creeping in from under the eaves? If that’s the case you will have a hell of a time in the summer.

JimSnyder · 1 December 2019, 10:36 AM

I have a Browning Medallion safe but my Tudor Black Bay is safe on my wrist for over 2 years now.

OutColed · 1 December 2019, 10:50 AM

What about watch winders? Yes or no?

I store mine in a canvas roll in a safe when not wearing and never really gave the temp and humidity much thought

Boaters · 1 December 2019, 11:26 AM
