Storage solutions for pins, bracelets, etc?

Curious if anyone has a good solution for keeping watch straps, pins, extra links and the like separated and organized? I enjoy changing bands a lot. Until now, I’ve kept each watche’s appropriate “extras” and alt bands in the original purchase boxes, but the boxes are piling up, haha. Just feel like there has to be a better way. Thought about just going to buy a generic, clear plastic Fishing lure box or something. Anybody got any great tech they love for this? TIA!

A tackle box is an excellent idea, also provides space for your strap changing tools.

I like these small craft cabinets with clear plastic drawers.

It's weird being the same age as old people.

I have 2 draws full of these little tins, perfect for storing many thousands of knurled pins for repining bracelets

I had a creative friend who fashioned a cigar humidor and some cigar boxes to be repurposed for his watches and tidbits. I am more boring and just use a Wolf Meridian Watch Box that holds 6 watches and has some drawers for me to keep the straps and tools. Little numbered baggies for the pins, links, etc. since I don't really have more than 6 watches worth (intentional to keep my collection small).

For pins and links, if you don't have too many, a dollar store pill box works perfectly.
