I just bought a watch box to display my watches in and am wanting to protect the watch closest to the metal hinge as it closes close to the watch in that compartment. I thought of clear vinyl or perhaps screen protector ie phone or tablet, but then I started thinking about the sticker material that Rolex and some other watches protect their watches with,,hmmm. Does anybody know if that can be purchased, if so where. Thanks. I may still go with clear vinyl as it probably would be thicker and more protective...not that I am having to fix a problem but that I just want to be extra careful...please no jokes about bubble wrap

I use clear, thin automotive tape on the clasps of my watch to protect from scratches.

It's not bubble wrap...

Coat them with elmer's glue

Get another box, the one you bought is not suitable if it damages your watches.
The nicest one on the market i’ve seen is from Louis Vuitton

jed11 · 11 April 2021, 06:09 PM

Buy a different watch box.

I sometimes wonder why Rolex made one of the toughest mechanical watches made today as most in todays world sure get a very very pampered life.

Rolex is building investment véhicules and each scratch is a 0.5% value decrease.

It sounds like you've bought the wrong box.

Honest people like us sometimes fail to realise that if OEM stickers were generally available, naughty people would use them for deceptive purposes. Why would Rolex make it so easy?

Some 3m, or scotch tape will do. No one will know but you.

Except you can restore its value with scotchbrite pad which will get rid of those nasty scratches!

But then expert investors such as myself will call fraud, report it to the SEC and buy puts against your position!

nighthawk77 · 11 April 2021, 07:05 PM

Bergeron do a protective film but this is not a tape

Insulation tape works well, and I use this if changing links/straps etc

Ultimately you need a new watch box

Where will these stickers go? On the watch? On the hinge? Both?

Do you wear your watches?

Both the hinge and the 2 watches closest to it.

vh2k · 12 April 2021, 04:38 AM

I lined my entire closet with velvet, cashmere, and chinchilla fur! No stickers needed.

Yes I wear my watches. Right now I am rotating 2. one in the morning and early afternoon and another from there till I go to bed. I was fortunate enough to purchase 2 at once from my AD. As with each watch I buy I like to give them 2-3 weeks of wrist time before putting them in regular rotation with my other watches. So my newest 2 will be worn for the next few weeks. I like Rolex watches and purchase as they become available to me, knowing the lack of availability and the long dry spell between purchases...I don't hesitate when one or in this case 2 that I want become available.
