That is awesome!!! What a dream for me. So the book case door will be from a library or living room? I know you call it the “bonus” room, which is awesome lol.

Jeffrey I've been on this forum for nearly 10 years and I gotta say this is the first I've seen someone with a watch room! Love to see pics after!

It will be just off the "Bonus Room" upstairs. That room was originally suppose to be a bathroom, but I think I made better use of it! LOL

You will pull the book and the bookcase will open into my WATCH ROOM! :) The builder should be breaking ground in 3 weeks!

I did this is the old basement with the unmentionables. Bought a kit that was 4” square tube steel and corrugated metal skin. Drywall over and used a safe door. Was sold as a storm shelter but worked awesome for watches and other collectibles too.

Very cool ! Make sure you add connection point for internet so you can have connectivity while you are there and maybe more electrical outlets and a ceiling light fixture. In for pictures when you complete it.

This is fantastic and a dream of mine too- if I ever move again, space for something like this is going to be on the checklist!

I'd need one of those and another separate room for my cigars.
