Which watch boxes do you recommend?

Hi all,

What watch box do you guys use/recommend? Im looking for one which can hold about 8 to 10 watches.

I have seen the Wolf range and like the look of this one but Im not sold on the cushion/pillow material they use :

https://www.wolf1834.co.uk/item/4616...e-watch-boxes/

The other make I have found is Aevitas and Tempus which look pretty good.

Any recommendations?

I know this is a Rolex forum but I intend to put mainly Rolex watches in the box! Thank you in advance

Love to hear about this too... This will sit in a closet for me, so I don't need a $400 case, something practical - wolf 5 piece for $100 looks good, anyone disagree?

Honestly it's more of a sentimental piece for me as it was a gift from my parents 20 years ago, and it was my first "nice watch" ever. It's actually broken. I brought it Omega for a service estimate and they wanted more than $700 lol. The watch is probably worth, what? $1300? Anyway, when I'm ready I'll find an independent to service it.

Otherwise, it's a beautiful piece with an amazing mix of classic and modern style. A little on the small side though. Looks great on a nato.

Oops, I'm too impulsive. I ordered the Savoy, $133

https://www.overstock.com/Jewelry-Wa...ption=12283542

Assume this comes with pillows and lock key... Anyone have this exact box?

Im still debating it.

Look at this video of the Heritage. Looks to me like the cushions are quite loose fitting so am a bit concerned about their ability to hold watches securely?

Being looking at one once I acquire the piece I am going for this month.

Have this in mind on my amazon basket.

Anyone experience Volta?



The carbon fibre one looks nice.

Aevitas do similar carbon fibre ones and they have a good reputation. Also do nice wood finishes. These are however quite heavy boxes and what I liked about the Heritage is that it is much lighter - will be easy to get in and out of the safe etc.

Prob can find pillows for cheap anyways, but I've got a fairly big wrist, so a tight pillow over time might put additional pressure on the bracelet... I say that with no knowledge if it is true, just sort of a thought.
