    If you like exhibition cases I can recommend rothwell cases so so much. They tick every box on the list in the video except for the first which in my opinion is a positive because I love looking at my watches even when I’m not wearing them.

    Very nice Peter, and the dimensions are quite compact compared to a lot of other boxes i have checked out. I also would like to emphasize to anyone looking to buy their first box that you really need to get a measurement of the watch slot widths when you are looking to buy. Like you, i have some 43, 44mm watches and you need to ensure the width has sufficient clearance to avoid contact between watches. Plenty of boxes I have checked out did not seem to cater for larger watches.

    Great box mate, that's or sure. Ticks many boxes... (pun intended!). Currently using two wooden boxes for teabags... couldn't be happier! Made the pillows myself, glass on top for my solars and easy view/access. Liked the idea of felt under, know there are paper ones, with some spray glue i'll be done in secs, thanks. Be well mate, enjoy.

  • @benjaminvis
    @benjaminvis Před 2 lety +2

    I totally get the point about the bolsters, but I also must say, this is the first example of it I've ever seen! Also, I've not seen anyone ever mention whether the underside is lined with something, but this too makes excellent sense. I have been looking for a watch box, but it has been very hard to find good ones at a decent price like this. I'm resisting buying two smaller ones, as I'd rather keep it all together (10-12 watches), and perhaps have a little drawer for some watch tools and straps etc., or a cheap beater watch. I'm not so scared of my kids, though I get your point. It's a pity you don't know where this came from exactly, as it seems thought beyond the ordinary and even the luxury went into making this case. Any recommendations from anyone?
