Home Watch Safe with electricity

I know we've had some discussions about watch safes vs bank safes. Im looking for a watch safe that I can store watches in winders in. I already have the winders, so a super expensive safe with winders built in is not what I'm looking for.

I realize that having a cord extend out the back of the safe impedes any discussion of fire rating. Does anyone know any manufacturers or dealers where I can find such a safe? Also I'm not looking for a monster-size. Maybe something about 30" high.

Thank you,
Larry

Check Ft Knox safes. They have a variety of sizes and fire ratings. Mine has a hole in the back for an electrical cord. Does not affect the fire rating. I run a device called a Golden Rod inside my safe. It keeps the air inside the safe warmer than the outside air to eliminate moisture condensing on anything in the safe.

wait till you feel the weight of an old safe ,,,, i bought a second hand one off a local commercial safe dealer at humble money ,,, for one of my other non mention able hobbies.
about two hundred sterling. big and old and heavy ,, but the old ones do paint up nice, and actually suit certain rooms well... just thinking out loud.
prior to that i just used the shelf at the top of the tall locked steel cupboard my other toys live in.
