Watch boxes

I apologize in advance if this topic has been brought up already, but what are your recommendations for watch boxes with smaller pillows? If the better option is to buy smaller pillows from a secondary seller, what would be your recommdations? As reference, I took out two links from my 41 mm submariner.

Also take out two links due to 6.75" wrist, my fave reasonably-priced one is Vlando 6-slot box.

Hi,

For watch boxes, there's lot's out there so my recommendation really is make sure you get one with velvet/microfibre on the inside and a nice case display.

For myself, I recently acquired the Wolf Windsor 15x Watch Box. Here's a fair video review, and I would not recommend this box. The pillow's were felt cheap, and in my opinion too light. They also did not fit the sides well and my watches slid down with the slanted bottom. The boxes holding the watch are a bit too narrow for my diver. Further the lining material is not soft, and so I have to carefully place the watch in to avoid scratching. It looks nice though.

Watch pillow size, I think custom is the best and I've recently got mine from an Etsy Seller called Babsbagshome.

They're from China and low priced. I didn't expect much, but very surprised with the results and that my pillows were made to measure exactly as I requested. The pillows fit snugly with nice firm give, and so now friction keeps watch exactly where I want them in the box.

I'm still pursuing ideal, and so, just did a 3d model and looking to make my own custom watch box.. hopefully will get to sourcing someone to build it this Christmas.

Here's a picture of how the pillows with the Wolf Windsor turned out,
