Bryant Park member has shown about 2 million bucks worth of Patek and Rolexes, so this would seem appropriate

I could have a custom safe built that meets my specific needs for half that, and spend the other balf on a platinum DD

!00K for a watch safe. I guess if you have that kind of scratch it’s not excessive.

Chances are if your looking to protect that many watches you have other items your looking to protect as well and it doesn’t seem to me I would be looking for something that could serve more than just one purpose.

Considering I don’t think I’ll live another 100 years I’ll just happily pay my Jewelers mutual annual premium and not have to fork out the 100k up front. And I guess insurance breaks the safe as the safe is only good while the watch is in it. Insurance is like living in a safe.

Yeah, but how much of that money went into the locking mechanism? Quite a few guys on youtube alone, making many locks and safes look pathetic in a matter of seconds or minutes.

Not a bit, if a 5711 is at 50k now, plat Daytona 70k, something like this is actually reasonable. Because at some point, it’s all relative.

I paid 350 for a safer safe than that.

When banks/post offices close or moves, safes can be had dirt cheap.

What I did.

It’s super cool. But at 100k I’m going to pass. I’m sure for that kind of money I could get a really nice custom built into my wall. I plan on doing this with my next house. Until then I’m happy with my 800 lb liberty safe that costs about $2,000.

32 orbita Watch winders, built in a custom safe with biometrics and other features plus made to look highend for 100k, yet on orbita’s site, a 40 winder designed to look like furniture and offer no protection other than hidden in plain site for 60k seems ok?

I saw this one at the AD in Montreal, $250,000 it was mind blowing. What was more mind blowing was that they sold about 10 there in the last 18 months!!
