Was moving some things around at the bank to get more organized and snapped this pic of a few things that I had to find room for in the safety deposit box. This is just a small portion of the mess.
Unless I lived in a Fort Knox-like home I'm more inclined to trust valuables kept off-site. And unlike the article, trying to get a safety deposit box at my bank or any bank in my area is nigh impossible. There are multi-year long waiting lists (kinda like stainless steel sport Rolex) and usually the only openings are when (1) someone dies (terrible but true) or (2) someone moves out of the country or out of the area.

Two are RAF and one is RAAF. The velcro straps for the Ocean 2000/Bunds are out of stock from IWC. They need to be sourced on the secondary market.

I had some made to the short OEM length by a 3rd-party vendor in different colors. The one below is a "desert tan" color.
Now those are some watches that put a smile on my face! Thanks for sharing! And that dial on the Bund is surreal -- tops! Kind regards, Dan
