Looking the right watch box

Hello all,

I’m searching for a watch box but can’t seem to find exactly what I want. Maybe they don’t make them the way I’m looking for, or maybe I’m not searching in the right places. Either way, I’m not sure, so I turn to you fine folks for help.

I’ve realized I don’t want a box with watch rolls to wrap the watches around—I know it’s a small detail, but I just don’t like them. I’d rather have a box where the watches can lay flat on their straps. I have a travel case like this that I…

POLL: Would You Buy/Sell…

To a brand new member? A recent thread got me to thinking about how my fellow WUS members feel about trusting new members when it comes to buying/selling watches or other items here.

Comments supporting your view are welcome!

Box and “lcd tablet”

When you buy a Breilting with box and papers, you may be surprised at what paper means. Something interesting that will go into a watch history book one day… I just realized up until a couple years ago Breitling used a mini digital LCD screen as the wa…

What is a sports watch?

I’m not totally sure but I know it when I see it. I profess that it is my favorite “style/category” of watch. At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter so long as I like my watches but it may make for a decent topic to discuss.

When I think of sports I don’t think of watches. And vice versa, unless it’s an NFL (Breitling), NBA (Tissot) or college branded watch. A sports watch is an enigmatic term but it’s frequently used. Is it design, build, quality, intended use or complications that make…

Rolex AD or Not

So, maybe a bit of a rhetorical question, but wanted to get your thoughts and musings on this question:

Does it make sense to buy a used Rolex Sub or GMT for about 25% to 50% more than retail than to buy 3 or 4 watches from an AD just to get a new Rol…
