Well my collection has expanded as of late, and my Wolf winder and Heroic18 box was not enough any more. I had posted a video earlier that featured the Heroic box and allot of you complemented it, it was a fantastic box! Great quality, wood grain, and had an excellent lower compartment for extra straps, tools, etc. I decided to sell it and get the larger version. Alas they had stopped making them.
After some searching I had found an acceptable alternative. Allot of thought went into this decision, I think the quality of the box is important, I love opening up my watch box and being visually blown away with a selection of fine time pieces! takes me back to my younger days when i used to visit my uncle and he would bring down his own 24 watch box filled Rolex, Patek, Jaeger, and A Lange watches! I would oogle them for an hour and not get bored...what a treasure!
Anyway, i found this custom made box, on the positive side it was as well made as the Heroic, the grain of the wood is excellent as well! The leather interior is excellent, I like black boxes as they let whats inside stand out! The button that releases the latch is nice though it doesn't feel very smooth.
The biggest downside is the lack of an under compartment, so I have to find another arrangement for my straps. Perhaps I will convert one of my old humidors.
All is all very happy with the box!
Anyway, down to the pics:
Now that I have tried this box, I think I might get another one and let my wolf winder go. I just dont need the winding functionality as I enjoy setting the time and winding up my watches.
There are some watches I don't see in that first box...
