Depending on where you live, a safe might be more like it. (When not wearing it!)

I don’t use stands, but welcome to the forums!!!

Welcome to TRF. Are you talking about something that just holds one watch? Something for your dresser?

Cannot understand the need for a stand,most Rolex are made from SS one of the toughest things on this planet. Just lay it down if you want to protect your furniture, just lay watch down on any clean bit of cloth.

Disagree. Yes, most may be made of stainless; mine aren't. I'm not laying mine down on the side like the peasants...a stand costs < $50. Ball up.

For such an expensive watch, I am looking for a stand to protect it from any surface scratches. I also have kids.

They're charging more than US$250 for the same watch stand you can buy on aliexpress.com for less than $20.

I couldn’t imagine spending $250+ on that stand and then seeing this for $20. Hahahaha. Wow.

To each his own, I guess. I derive much more pleasure from displaying my watches in a fun way than I could from any meal at Applebee's....

Our products are hand-made in Europe with the highest quality Italian leather, and the finest stones which have been meticulously polished and beveled. What you see on Alibaba and other market places is a pirate copy of our product, which we have invented and patented the design of. The copies are of low quality materials - even fake leather, and poor build quality.

Is this why you will not say where your products are made? Maybe you're just asking stunning markups of the same stuff?

Our stands are made in Poland with materials imported from Italy.

Anyone here have comment on their rolls? They look very nice but very spendy. Maybe a Carapaz will do nicely?

This is proper storage, no matter the watch construction material.
