...of my watch boxes (-:
I hardly ever see my watches all together in one location;a larger part is always at the bank.
Looking however at my watch boxes I feel that time for a consolidation may have come !!??

Key Points from the Discussion
- For security, it's advisable to scatter watch boxes across multiple locations, such as with trusted family members, rather than concentrating them in one place, especially if a thief might discover them.
- The size of watch boxes, particularly for high-end pieces, can be a significant inconvenience for collectors and traders due to their bulk.
- Some collectors prefer to discard the original watch boxes or opt for much smaller storage solutions to minimize clutter and improve practicality.
- Focusing on vintage watches can be a strategy to manage storage space, as their original boxes tend to be considerably smaller than those for modern luxury timepieces.
- Several community members shared images of their own watch box storage solutions, illustrating diverse approaches to managing collection volume.
