How do you store Rolex (for a day or two)
Looking for something to store watch in. I have the box but its kind of pain to have to put it in there and take out all the time. Or just leave on a counter. Thanks

Yup, those valet trays are nice, except that you can get the same leather thing in Amazon for $10. Hodinkee aims to the jugular on a regular basis.

My expensive watches spend their off-time at the bank.

My other watches just live in a drawer or on a table or desk between wearings.

My watches stay on winders (I have 3 Brookstone quads) when not being worn.

Thanks for the recommendation. I've been thinking about a winder.

1. Lay watch on dresser.

2. Walk away from dresser.

3. Be sure and lock front door if you leave the house.
