My Favorite Watch Holder ( Even Though No Winder)

[david91686]

This box is my favorite place to store my watches when not in the winders!! anyone have any other boxes that hold 8 watches ( + or -) like this that can be kept on desk or nightstand?? i would love to see some other options that are out there in the wild......... Thanks in advance!!!

Love this, does LV still carry it?

[david91686]

Yup!! but the price has gone up over 30% since i bought it in 2011. its crazy!! i thought it was crazy expensive when i bought it , but now it has gone up so much!!

Sweet watch box

[david91686]

Thanks Hairdude1!!! i really like it and thank Gd i bought it in 2011 because at the price it is now i would not buy it!! i felt stupid for spending as much as i did in 2011!! :)

Saw one of these in the Venice LV shop a few weeks ago, and was quite interested until I saw the price: 3,900 euros if I remember correctly.

[david91686]

it is $5,950.00 Plus Tax right now....... i just pulled out my receipt from 2011 and i paid 4,000.00 and that was with the Tax!!

Here is a link to the box on LV website!!

Insame, I have one that holds 8 watches also that I love. It is made o black leather and some metal on the side, it was expensive but that is taking too far. Hey your looks awesome though

[david91686]

gmlomas- can we see a picture????

[sea-dweller]

Great collection!

[speedy_master1]

why would you pay that much for the "box" when you can buy another watch with that money?

[david91686]

Nima007- that would be for every person to decide their own financial situation ....... i am not lacking in the watch department.... and was able to purchase the watch box as well....have a good one!

[david91686]

Sea-dweller- Thanks!!! have a couple more that will be arriving in a couple weeks!! will share those when they arrive!!

Hi David here you, not great quality but you get the idea.

Best,
Guillermo

[david91686]

wow!! GmLomas- Great Box!!!! i like it a lot!! Use it in good health!!!

[david91686]

Tokyo Time- Thanks..... Yeh i wanted to keep the watches in a box i felt was deserving to hold such perfect timepieces!!!

[mattcantwin]

Nothing special here, paid about $35 for it.




However, I like the ability to see the watches through the glass top.

[gmlomas]

Thanks. I think sometimes we underestimate the importance of the box. The right color meaning something neutral so the watch stands out, the right width so you can fit bigger pieces, the right pattern so it blends wherever you put it.

It took me a while to find something I liked, after all, chances are that your watches will be just short or long term visitors of your precious box

Mine that i have now are all going to be long term tenants of this box!! in the picture i am missing the SubC-LN and the Sub- 50th Anniversary Model- both of those are currently in my Brown Safe Co. Mens Safe in the winders. I don't know if there is a thread about safes with winders built in , but Brown Safe Co, has the absolute best safes made for men with Winders built in!! they are awesome!!!

i was talking to a friend of mine tonight , we met up for some drinks and i was telling him how i just posted some pics to the Forum of the LV watch box that we both have. He stopped me right away to tell me that he forgot to tell me , but about 3 months ago he needed some money to buy an engagement ring and he decided to put it up on Ebay to see what he could get for it. ( we both paid about 4K in the beginning of 2011) within about 3 hours of putting it up on Ebay he got an offer of 5500.00 and accepted it right away thinking the bidder would never pay and within minutes the guy had paid !! he used that money to purchase the engagement ring!! after hearing this tonight it really has me thinking of selling the Box - but right now i don't need the $$ but if i ever do its good to know that there was a nice demand for the product. He said he made the deal off Ebay to save some money and left the listing up for a few more days and got between 5-10 messages a day asking if it was still available. so the desire for this pricey piece is pretty high!! LV NEVER discounts their items and over past 2 years have raised pricing across the board by over 30% sometimes.( Sounds like a certain watch company i know of :).

[gmlomas]

I liked your collection, really nice. I am also not much of a flipper as every piece has some meaning to me and has been well thought out

[david91686]

yeh- in my earlier days a few years ago i was really all over the place- and ended up flipping a few different pieces including a daytona ( which i really just did not like) and even more recently the Tudor Black Bay which i loved while looking at but just did not find it as comfortable....... Comfort is very important to me !!The Yachtmaster II which is my most recent purchase , i was very nervous that it would be to big or to heavy on my wrist and it is actually my most comfortable watch by FAR!!! i love it!!i am waiting on 2 really special pieces but i think i will wait to share them until they come in!! haha ! keep some suspense.....

[gmlomas]

I'll keep my eyes open. I got the explorer a few months back when I went to service my sub but I am already thinking of my next piece...but will probably wait a bit.

[david91686]

yeh , its a sickness!! the desire for new latest and greatest Rolex!! haha

[gmlomas]

Those are two amazing pieces. Congrats!. The BLNR is stunning, look forward to see how it looks with the new bracelet...good luck withthat. I am sure someone will eventually be able to help.

The skydweller is so rare, I saw it an AD a few weeks back in YG...simply amazing.

[david91686]

Thanks Man!! i can not wait to just try it on and make my final decision. the BLNR i was positive that i wanted , i was able to try one on at my AD but it was being sold to someone who had walked in the store a few minutes before me :(...... but mine will be here in a few days so i can't really complain! the Sky Dweller he is offering to me at a really awesome deal!! i assume the White gold model is either not selling well or i have just never bought a solid gold rolex and the discounts are much more significant than with Stainless Steel rolex models..... I'm not sure....... what do you think???

[gmlomas]

They are. You should be able to getva reasonable deal

[samsam]

I have this. What's nice about it is that it has a drawer for other stuff (cuff links, pens, etc.)

[Andad]

Nice box David.
