just for fun...which box would you pick?

Recently ordered a couple of watch boxes from the Wolf / Savoy range. Not sure why really as seven of my collection sit in a bank safe.

I had some free time today so decided to take some quick and dirty pics of my collection.

box 1: lv, gmt2, sub and seadweller.
box 2: gv, explorer2, lvc and sd43.

If I had to chose just one box, I'm not sure which I would pick. What about you?

Excuse the poor pics and the dusty watch boxes.

Though both are great, box 1 for me. Would probably get rid of the SD and add a polar EXII, or just exchange that with box 2 if the rules allowed.

Great collection by the way and cool thread. Thx for posting!

The LV and Coke alone would be enough for me to pick Box 1.

Amazing collection by the way Superb.

Great collection! It's box one for me. There's nothing in the second box that can overcome that LV and GMT!

Box 1 if I could swap out the Sub for the Milgauss.
I like a little more variety.

Very nice collection.

Tough call, but I would probably choose box 1 due to I have so much ceramic in my current collection.

Wow, tough choice... I can’t pick! Worse, now I can’t concentrate at work!

If I had to choose, box 2. I’m ignorant in my modern watch ways!

Great post btw.

oh man....those are 2 great boxes, but I would have to go with 2. Hulk, Exp II polar and a SD...a man doesn't need much more than that.



well...maybe he does!

...thank you for joining in. without swapping watches between boxes it's a pretty tough choice. quick count has box 2 slightly ahead.

Just thought watches in box 2 cost roughly twice those in box 1.

think an explorer I would fit nicely in box 1; and maybe d blue in box 2?

I would like to have a new box made out of Box 1 (2 and 3) + Box 2 (2 and 4).

Let me know when I can pick up.

Thank you!
