SenileCoot Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I am looking for a nice, wooden watch box for about 6-8 watches. There are many nice and affordable boxes on Amazon, for example, but there is a problem. I have a fairly small wrist and need a box with soft cushions that give in easily. Without seeing these boxes in person, I can never be sure how soft their cushions are. I used to have a nice box that, sadly, had very stiff cushion that put way too much pressure on my bracelets. Has any of you come across a box might suit me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HauteHippie Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm confused as to how a cushion can put pressure on a bracelet. But either way, there are boxes where the watches lay flat in drawers instead of wrapped around cushions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenileCoot Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I'm confused as to how a cushion can put pressure on a bracelet. But either way, there are boxes where the watches lay flat in drawers instead of wrapped around cushions. The one I had wasn't "fully" cushioned. Rather, there was something hard (plastic perhaps) inside with a thin layer of something spongy covered with nice fabric. It looked pretty and kept its shape nicely but it would only give a few millimeters. It wouldn't compress enough for my bracelets. Thus, I am looking for a box with cushions that compress a good deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SenileCoot Posted March 16, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 http://www.thewatchprince.com/watch-box /Tim Ah yes, I came across that store. But how well these cushions compress? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trunk21 Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 Contact Anthony from Acetimer. He's located in the US, and his watch boxes have "squishy" pillows for your smaller bracelets. http://www.acetimer.com/ I have his 20 watch case, and it's amazing quality for the price. In fact, they are the SAME cases you will see on Eprey for 5-10 times the price... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted March 16, 2007 Report Share Posted March 16, 2007 I bought mine from Bombay - a furniture store here in Canada. Because the bracelets did not fit into the cushions as you said, I just plopped the watches inside with the bracelets open and let them dangle around in there... it's much easier that way.

Those are some cheap prices! The winders are ultra inexpensive. Wonder if they're loud? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rxus Posted March 17, 2007 Report Share Posted March 17, 2007 Theyre inexpensive allright, but the catch is in the shipping...USD $22.00+ 2.50 insurance(mandatory) Still not a bad price I guess, but he knwos what hes doing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corgi Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 I personally don't like watch winders. To me, if you need a winder, automatic watches are not for you! The fun in automatics is keeping them alive by winding them, wearing them... at least for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 WOW... Gotta get me one too... Is yours the rosewood one, Ubi? Yessir... The rosewood is the one I have. The quality of the inside materials isn't exactly the best, per se. But for the price, I'm certainly not complaining I also have one of these hand made boxes that a very generous gentleman from one of the gen forums built for me (back when I was collecting mostly gens). This one holds a very special place in my collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
