Looking for watch box.

    Looking for a nice display box for my watches with 10-12 spaces at a reasonable price (under €100). I've looked through amazons selection but nothing caught my eye for the price point. Some nice £300+ ones for sure.

    Is there any stores in Ireland worth checking out?

    size of the box: 33 x 32 x 8 cm

    Now that is Sssswwweeeeeetttt. For an extra €29 it's certainly worth it. Look at all of those Pans LOL.

    I got one of these recently and have just ordered a second one :o

    looks better in the flesh than it does in that picture. I'll post some actual photos later on.

    Comes with a soft carry case that the actual box goes into and is lockable also. (Wouldn't take much to get past the lock tbh!)

    Website is http://www.watch-tool.de/ and they do a wide range of stuff including watch tools. Price is 169 but the finish is superb.

    save the trip to Weirs so - I wish i had known about these guys - :D

    Looking forward to needing one of these one day:D

    I'd recommend Wolf Designs. I bought a display case in Weirs but had to return it as it was too tight a fit - the watches were pressed against eachother(my watches are on the large size also).

    I picked up the one with the drawer.

    Great quality box, really well put together. I can take some photos if you want a look at it.

    Sent the guy in Germany an email about the 12 set box. Hopefully he is quick in answering his mail.

    He is very fast at answering his emails. Paypal invoice sent and paid LOL. Should have it next week. :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,731 ✭✭✭Bullseye1


    Rainer must work late. Is Germany one or two hours ahead. Just sent me an email this is getting shipped tomorrow and I'll receive my tracking number by midday. That's service for you.

    Efficiency, I hope you pointed out to him though about how we send money their way too ;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,731 ✭✭✭Bullseye1


    I think they are sending more money our way lately. :D

    Haha got my tracking number.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,731 ✭✭✭Bullseye1


    Well it arrived today by courier. Very well packaged. The box itself is very nicely finished with each compartment having a generous amount of space. Highly recommended.

    Just to lower the tone a bit :D

    Here's my watch box, as bought this morning:


    172867.jpg172868.jpg

    nope you're not seeing things ...this is a plastic box with a drawer, crammed with bath sponges.
    Size: 34 x 28 x 15 cm; capacity: well ...if I cut the sponges I'd say about 20 watches easily; price: 14 miserly Euro altogether :D

    Fits nicely on my nightstand


    EDIT:

    HAH!

    A minor sponge re-shuffle and the whole thing looks almost presentable

    Plus I can wind the watches without having to take tem out.

    Next step: colour co-ordinate the sponges :D:rolleyes::D

    Yes, it's a slow day today
