As I’ve picked up a few watches lately (and you’ll remember that I was the guy who was going to join WUS to research and purchase ONE watch…), I’ve noticed that I’ve also accumulated a bunch of other stuff.

The watches are stored in a self-limiting 5- watch box that enjoy using, but I don’t have a good system for straps, tools, extra spring bars, etc.
