Hi all, just wondered if anyone knows what the proper name for this -

My watch box is missing the 'insert' that the watch sits on when it goes into its box (the little cushion thing that watch hugs and slots back into the slot).

Anyone know the proper name for this ? or even if I can purchase one, I did try to email the B-UK but they didn't get back to me.

Thanks

I think that it's just called a cushion. Ask an AD and they may have some lying around.

I think it's also referred to as a watch pillow

Sorry to get back to this, but ... , the cushions don't look like the sort of thing I would need (or at least the ones I have found don't), they look like they would be way too wide to fit the slot.

I have uploaded a photo of my watch and box to show what I mean -

Any ideas ?

The current ones won't fit because your box is a much older style. You'll probably struggle to find just a cushion/box insert for that age of box : most will be sold with the box itself. Try a WTB ad on here, or keep scouring eBay would be my advice.

Lots lose the insert over the years, I'll have a look Friday when I get home to see if I have one.
