How do YOU display your watches?

Hey fellow watch lovers, my first post here!

I LOVE looking at all of your amazing watches and just figured you all had some equally beautiful way of displaying your collections.

Please share pics!

I'll post my glass display with custom lighting as soon as I figure out how, haha

Hi Jocke

what are the small white elastic bands on the front/back of the green case???

I assume this was a Rolex AD display case, and maybe the elastic held something???

I guess I just think of them as little works of art ya know, of course there beautiful and essential for a mans wardrobe, but c'mon, they are also beautifully crafted pieces of art, to me anyway.

So my thinking is why have them hidden away (BESIDES there obvious monetary value)

Also I wanted to clarify it's not like these are in the living room, there in my private bedroom. For my private viewing only
