Links and Bracelet's now what

[daysky1]

I am looking for a better way to organize my removed links and bracelet's. So far I am tagging and bagging them and just keeping them in a small wooden craft box I call my watch tool box. For links I make a label with the date removed, either 12 or 6 o'clock side, the serial number and description of the watch. Wrap them in thin clear vinyl, put them in a tiny zip lock then put that in a larger zip lock with the rest. My metal bracelets I wrap them in clear vinyl with the date and watch they came from. My AD suggested a craft note type book that has clear compartmental vinyl pages so I could have easier access to the links. I suppose I could find various vinyl insert pages for the bracelet's. How do you keep track of yours? Looking for a better way if possible....

Why don't you just keep everything in the boxes the watches came in?

I have multiple links and a few bracelets and a lot of watches, the boxes take up a lot of room I suppose that would be one option but then to try to remember which watch I took a link out of and exactly where that box is in relation to the rest I have quite a collection between mechanical and quartz watches and sizing of bracelets multiple different ways and it's just not practical to put them in the box if I only had a few you know maybe less than five that would be an option that I would seriously consider. I keep my boxes in the bags they come from the ad with and even the ones I've purchased from the gray Market I put the boxes back in the packing cardboard box that it was sent to me in so handling the boxes would be a bit more of a chore than looking through the vinyl wrapped and tagged links and bracelets.

Me too. Can’t remember…ever…resizing a watch again after purchase.
I have all my presentation boxes and a drawer on my dresser full of tools and other random watch stuff.

This seems overly complicated. I keep everything related to a specific watch together with what it was provided with.

Let's say you have 40 boxes of a variety of watches Rolex Omega tutor Etc where do you keep your boxes

[cdmorenot]

Between the wife and I we have about 20 or so boxes that we keep in storage. They’re inside those large clear containers and stuck in a utility closet.

Cards, booklets and accessories such as hang tags, bezel protectors are kept in multiple zippered bank bags and spare links in baggies labeled with sharpie.

Where I have room for them. How often do you have to put links back in, take more out, switch bracelets, etc? I don't see how putting a sticky note on each box saying which watch it is for along with anything that's in the box such as links would be that difficult to do.
