You can't put at least something soft under it?

Honestly, it doesn't. I put it down gently, and there aren't almost any scratches to be seen!

I've seen this picture before, and that kinda looks like the way my husband stores his watch, except that the diamonds are replaced with bullets and stuff (please don't ban me!!) (he's in LE), so I can't post a picture here!

Kudos!
Even after having been in a road accident in which my Omega PO suffered only minor scratches to the bracelet and absolutely no scratches to the crystal, I still can't get myself to lay my watches face down on a leather desk.

Is it safe to put my Sub crystal side down so close to the sink?!

When I'm not wearing it to sleep in, I very carefully put mine down on its side on a micro cleaning cloth, either from Rolex or Omega. I also rinse it off after a long distance run to make sure there's no salt on it. That way, I can make certain that all the scratches and dings are from me whacking it into door jambs, car doors, or computer keyboards.

Actually if I don't have a soft case to put the watch down sideways I usually put it down face down as well. Sometimes doesn't sit so well because of the cyclops lens though.

I put mine on a watch pad I got from vereat face up wrapped in a cleaning cloth. I wash it before I put it to bed. Works for me. As long as you have a routine that works for you. This would make me nervous though. But I should talk as I was using paint stripper today while wearing my watch.

Why not invest in a small case like the casebudi?

All my jewelry boxes and watch pouches end up in the kids' playroom...

I've always kept my watches face-down. It seems the most intuitive way to protect them from scratches, but after reading all of these responses I guess maybe it's not as intuitive as I had thought!
But, as you say Vanessa, my watches are virtually free of scratches. |

It looks so lonely on the sink all by itself. Where do you keep the other watches?

If it's not on my wrist while I'm sleeping then it's in the safe.

Here's where mine spends the night, on a wooden shelf above the sink so I don't worry about anything.
Crystal up, though, but with the band positioned like this there are no scratches anywhere...
