rolex watch stand

[Pballkm21]

Aside from winders, rolls and box's, I'm looking for something to sit bedside to rest a couple Rolex's on when I don't have them in the winder. I saw advertisements for that "watch stand" on instagram that seems to just be a leather pad on a stick. Seems perfect compared to anything else google has come up with, aside from an absurd $200+ price tag. Has anyone seen any reasonable alternatives?

I picked up a Valet tray from Smythsons or they live in a box.

This is the stand i was referencing. Something similar but reasonably priced would be ideal if anyone knows anything!

We have two in our bedroom. People used to called them “night stands” or sometimes, “bedside table.” A valet tray on top works for when a watch isn’t going back in the winder at day’s end.

I actually have one of these nightstands. It works fine for me. I don’t have a valet tray. But it sounds like I must have one. But I’m not sure what size Is appropriate and how thick the leather needs to be. Is there a recommended thickness? If it’s too thin will my watch need to be serviced more often. I should probably ask my AD or call RSC.

I picked up one of those watch stands and couldn't be happier. It works great bedside!

You loose the self regulation facility of resting on the crown or not over-night.

If your watch is running fast you can place it crown up overnight to slow down. If it's running slow you can place it crown down to speed it up.

This is a general rule, but you may have to experiment with your watch to see what works.

From another post.

I wonder if you can buy one of these and disconnect the charging function. Maybe leather wrap the part where your watch rests? A lot of other types are under 10 bucks.

Can’t believe no one is offering these stands at a more reasonable price

I feel like those may have magnets to function the charging aspect of the stand. Right?

I can't believe that there aren't more people that can't make their own...

I better get started on another DIY project for the Forum.

Nice one..... would like to have something in this form

[HogwldFLTR]

Mine stays on my wrist; imho that's the best place for a watch at night!!

The more I look at this the more it defines the idea of a solution searching for a problem.

[Scapegoat]

I would knock that stand over in a minute and send my watch crashing to the floor!

I don't think so. There is a hole to put the charger in. I ordered one to modify. I'll let you know.

An extra dust collector for the purpose of draping a watch over. Essentially a cushion jabbed onto a stick. 200 bucks. I'm in the wrong business.

+1.

All I can imagine is the stand getting knocked over somehow. I see it has a relatively heavy marble base, but it still doesn’t look like it’d take much. I know I’ve knocked over my phone, iPad, and other stuff from my night stand at some point or another. I definitely would want to risk an expensive watch falling to the floor.

If I do take off my watch it gets put in a valet style tray in the bathroom/walk-in closet along with my other gear....away from the kids

I have some authentic current dealer stands. They’re perfect for the closet / night stand.
Will be posting a few shortly.

Now you're talking. It's probably worth asking as ADs currently only need a couple.

[Boaters]

I like this one

[Chaching]

These watch stands are a complete joke just my 2 cents

Now the supermarkets have chopped onions, and boiled and peeled eggs for sale. I really think humanity has reached total dependency.

If it can't be purchased they're lost. I used to laugh at par boiled rice.......but it only got worse.
