Safe Deposit Box Containers

[liuk3]

For those of you who do use a safe deposit box at a bank, I was just wondering what containers, trays, or boxes you might use for the contents (e.g., watches, jewelry, papers, etc.). I have a 5x5, and I'm trying to figure out what I want to use to store contents in there. Primarily focused on watches, but I will also likely store some of wife's jewelry and some documents in there. Thanks for any ideas and feedback you might be willing to share.

Edit: It is supposed to be 5X5, but the length is about 21 inches.

5x5 may be a little too small, but it still depends on how many watches you want to store. Most 5-watch cases will require 5x12 or larger.

I have order 4 of these for using in my house and in the bank safe but I have not received them yet:

Yeah, it was the largest that they had available. Normally they don't even have vacancy at this bank closest to home. I just happened to call them yesterday, and they said that they had someone close an account in my neighborhood. I got the sense that most people actually only had a 5x3 size bank safe deposit box.

Thanks. I thought about that, but I didn't get any as mine were pretty much all purchased from a local AD who didn't know what I was talking about when referring to the shipping containers.

Something like this box on Amazon I think should fit a 5X5 box. I think the length of the safe deposit box is about 21 inches. The box from Amazon is only $20 and fits 6 watches.

Another good option for watches with bracelets to be stored individually is the Rolex service pouch. I have asked my AD for them, and they gave me happily for free one per each Rolex that I purchased there without any problem.

We have a tray but on a waiting list for a box. Been waiting, oh, 10-years now for the box!

Oakley watch vaults and/or Rolex pouches depending on which watches are put away.
I usually put 4 in the safe deposit box when leaving town.
All fit nicely

Yeah, I think I had been looking for one locally for about six years when this one became available, so I jumped on it especially since it is just a 5 minute drive from my home. I didn’t know that they were in such demand in my area.

Yeah, it's slim picking here in SF as well. We were lucky to get a tray many years ago.

A really good friend of ours (who's in their 80s) is about to close her box and pass it onto us.

Finger crossed. haha.

Actually I asked my AD for some years ago and have used them ever since. There’s a few non-Rolex watches they won’t work for and I have a few watch boxes that work well with those.

That's a good idea. I'll ask one of the local ADs if they can spare some.

Yep, exactly what I use.

Beckertime sells them if anyone needs them at a “decent” price

Thanks everyone for the suggestions. Appreciate it.
