When not in use for extended periods, I just store it in the original case as it came from the AD.

Mine is worn in a regular rotation, so on the off days I just store it in my watch box on my dresser.

There are just letters placed backwards on and the mat detailing the members username, and yes, it happens to be Rolex backwards.

great collection of storage items.

I have a question regarding the storage bag, far right in pic. Is storing your watch in the baggy thing a good idea? Could the bracelet scratch the case or itself clumped up in the baggy?

The satchel is a nice touch, but is it a good choice?

The pouch you're asking about has an inner 'card' which is also felt-covered, and is inserted between the case back & bracelet, so as no part of the watch can rub metal-to-metal in the pouch.

Even the button fastener's internal part is covered by a little felt flap to prevent scratching.

As stated already, it's a Rolex service pouch, so it's meant for the job, but not impact-proof.

The watch should at least be wound every once in a while in order to keep the lubricants from drying up

Plastic shipping coffins when in the bank. Wolf watch roll when at home.
Oakley watch vault when traveling.
