Reply With QuoteBe careful with this one not sure you could put big watch on it
looking for an affordable watch box (AKA cheap) anyone on here bought something like this or recommend a 15+ watch box that will fit the likes of tuna's 6309's etc.
was looking at this one... http://www.amazon.co.uk/Glass-Display-W ... p_office_2 anyone bought one of these?
Cheers

If you want cheap you can nip down to B&Q and buy one of their compartmentalised screw/tool boxes and some pipe lagging. I've seen it done, it works very well and stores loads of watches.
Yep i did one, used a swimming aid instead of pipe insulation , works ok , not the prettiest box in the world but functional and certainly cheap .Originally Posted by Redd
When i exibited it on the Rlt forum I titled the thread as "Poor mans watchbox"
Check Dick Sternum' post on a self made one http://www.tz-uk.com/forum/viewtopic...h+case&start=0 its brilliant.
I like those! Might try to do something myself using an old cigar box.
I use an old mahogany deep cutlery box bought for a quid at the local bootsale
Look on the bay full of cheap ones that are extremely well made.
Brilliant idea, I love it.Yep i did one, used a swimming aid instead of pipe insulation , works ok , not the prettiest box in the world but functional and certainly cheap .

I keep all my watches in a very secure hiding place so I`m not bothered what the storage boxes look like. This is an ideal solution.

Pipe lagging! I'd been looking for some cheap watch cushions to replace the horrible bendy metal ones that came with my Argos watch boxes. Brilliant idea.

I'd recommend the company (and indeed that specific box) mentioned in the OP. I ended up buying a couple from him and they're good value for money - v quick and efficient delivery too. His name is Nick.
The slots aren't the widest but not too narrow either.
Let us know how you get on.
I "helped" my son with his GCSE DT where he was making a watch box last year.Brilliant idea, I love it.Yep i did one, used a swimming aid instead of pipe insulation , works ok , not the prettiest box in the world but functional and certainly cheap .

Here is the box showing it lined with sticky backed felt from Hobbycraft. The last job was the wrap the pipe lagging with the same felt.
I find the best sized cushion can be made from wrapping a lenth of 15mm internal diameter lagging with some 22mm internal diameter lagging and then sticking the felt over the whole lot.
The box got him an A grade!!

you can buy these things everywhere.....look on the bay as well
I have a box of the same dimensions (can't remember where I bought it) and only 6 watches fit nicely in it, none of them the size of a 6309.
I don't think the one in your link will be suitable.
Weren't there recent threads about making boxes out of LIDL tea containers?
Thans for the link. Price is now £31.99 with £7.30 postage.

That toolbox idea is pretty good!
