as for setting watches each day. i agree with that if your watches dont have day/date wheels. My Omega Speedy Triple Calendar is a mega dick to set when it's been sitting unwound so a winder is totally necessary. Also, as much fun as setting watches is i also worry about over-using the crown. That comes from wearing out the crown on a vintage Omega i have. I guess it wouldnt happen on a modern Rolex / Omega.

I wear my Automatic Seamaster to work so it is always charged. I st it on my bedside table when i swap for my evening/casual wear tissot. My battery seamaster sits in my Omega 3 watch case with my replicas from before i could actually afford watches ( i still wear them when i feel it is to risky to wear a real one). A few of my others are in their purchase cases. Often dead.

The white face Daytona is BNIB and never worn. My GMT Pepsi is mint too 98% and I'm keeping that for later to rotate.

I just picked up a Versa single watch winder from Amazon for my B&R. Does a great job - quiet enough to be right next to the bed. Take or leave the blue LED mood lighting.

Any recommendations for an affordable display/storage box? I bought a Case Elegance 6-watch box and the pillows were too big for my watches. They are not adjustable either. It’s too bad because I really liked the design of the box (simple and elegant).

Got a Wolf 5-watch box for $215 from Nordstrom. The pillows are a bit small. While they fit, I must angle them otherwise some of the watches sink down a bit and rest on the crowns.
There is one from Rothwell that seems decent. The Holme & Hadfield was a good value but went up $55 making it alright. All are cheaper than Wolf but Wolf’s quality seems good and does what it’s supposed to do. Nordstrom has a good return policy so will try it out for a bit longer and return if needed. |

I have a few varieties of these. I like that I can easily travel with a few watches and keep them protected:
https://www.amazon.com/Watch-Travel-...st_sto_dp&th=1 They are also reasonably priced. |

I have a Wolf single winder and another brand (Heiden?) dual winder that I found on Amazon for the automatics. The rest are in a watch storage case.

I had two custom drawers made in our walk-in closet when the house was being built. They store a total of 16 pieces. Then I have a 4 watch winder in which I keep the 4 watches I have on rotation at any given time. I also have a watch box with 22 or so spaces but I rarely ever open it and I think it has some junk watches in it.
