Default Keeping watches safe (sorry watch haters)

Well I'm not sorry

How do you watch boffins store your time pieces? I went home to the parents at the weekend and found 1 of my old watches from when I was a teen.

I'd like to keep it safe from scratches etc, its not worth a dime (old casio digi) but whilst going through old photos getting ready for them to be scanned I found a couple of pics of my 17th birthday with me wearing it.

no as I seem to be collecting a few I'd like to keep them all safe, rather than just being left on my computer desk.

The 1 I'm currently wearing is easy, it came in its own Peli case!!!

Only 1 of the watches has a box. They used to get binned. Oh the thoughtlessness of youth.

It's probably worth more than my watches.

I'd just buy a cheap box off ebay unless you want to display it. My omega has its own box and stays in the safe. My everyday G-shock is kicking round the bedroom somewhere! Lol.

I keep mine in a big f*ck-off victorian safe, that weighs about 250 kilos. Theyre all insured new-for-old too, so Id do quite well if someone had it away...

Put them on up your arm.

You might even flog a few!
