Watch Display (Storage) Case ?

What does anyone recommend for a watch display case to keep your watches? Where did you buy your watch display (storage) case and how much did it cost? For instance are any of these good?

Thanks
Allan

I have bought a few watch winders (not display cases) from AcerTime on eBay and have been very happy with them.

I have a mahogany chest that holds 24 watches in 2 drawers! It does not have the glass cover (mahogany in its place). I prefer it like that so my bezel inserts and dials will not fade. I also got it from Ebay 18 mos ago for something like $85.

Here's a tip. I keep a few small bags of silica desiccant, the kind you typically find packed in new electronic parts, in each of my watch cases. Remove the bags and heat them in an oven once a month or so to remove the absorbed moisture and renew them.

My watches like my firearms are always in a safe unless being used. No sense in tempting fate.

I purchased this inexpensive display box-it was the best I could find in town. Not crazy about ordering things on the internet without seeing them live first. It's not great but serves it's purpose for $19.

I just bought a beautiful quad watch winder, with storage for six more, on Ebay from a seller named "mychargeit" for just $150. Very, very nice quality polished wood, glass, and cushioning. Great motor with numerous options. I was shocked at how nice it was for the money. Must be the economy. (I found the seller randomly and only had this one deal with them.)

Check out Wolfe Designs. They make great winders at a decent price. As an added bonus the storage compartment is even big enough to hold PAM's!!

I've got this Orbita case. Holds twelve watches and is easy to take along with you.

Bought this leather case which holds 18 watches. Has a nice glass see through top which I keep in the safe.
