Very nice pick up!

I completely agree with your comments regards the lack of real quality market offerings and have often looked at the Bosphorus range. That saiid my collection is no longer large enough to justify the big briefcase, it’s a pity therefore they don’t do smaller attaché type cases that could slot into a safe. One last comment is also the cushions, having like you tried out many cases at varying price levels I admit to preferring the phase de line or Everest rolls due largely to their rolex style (carved out at the back)cushions which ensures they can fit my larger watches and my wife’s smaller sized wrists, I’m not sure how soft the bosphorus range is in that respect but it’s certainly something I’d be keen to know

Got me a new watch box...or better a watch case.

An accessory that we rarely discuss are the watch boxes that we use to store our beloved time pieces. I don't know about you but I do not like my watches to sit in one of these cheap and badly made watch boxes from unknown origin. There are however not th...  

Really good quality.

Very solid build with high quality natural leather and suede. Correct pricing for the quality!

These are made to order.

They state about 4 weeks but in my case it was only 2 weeks plus one week of delivery time

Very nice pick up!

The cushions are soft.

They accomodate also smaller watches.

Great looking case! 👌🏻 And your "casual" collection isn't bad either 😜

 
 By: 1WatchMan : July 22nd, 2020-02:25
I do like it, and the capacity (15 watches) sounds like a good number to me.... 😊 A question: if you close the case and carry it from the handle with your watches inside, do you feel any risk of the watches hitting each other? Another question: the cushio... 

Thanks for your comment.

 
 By: jlux : July 22nd, 2020-02:34
The watches are sitting very tight in the case so there is no risk of hitting each other when carrying the watch case. The cushions are in fact very soft and accomodate well different types and sizes of watches.

Looks great!

Will be even better if the watch cause comes with the content too haha

Gerard, nice watch cases such as yours is something I owned and I would love to own, again, BUT...

The main problem is that you would be very tempted to store your watches inside and keep it and them at home... Here lies the problem. Burglars... Burglars love to see someone storing a nice watch case with fine watches inside. It is easier for them to br... 

Very valid point.

Most of my watches do sit safely at my bank ....only a very few in a very strong private safe ...in a very well protected environment (mechanical and electronical) With this watch case the nice feature is that you can carry it with the handle to the bank ... 

Great reminder Nico, in most (perhaps all!) countries I'd never keep more than a handful of watches at home by rotation -- regardless of whether I own a safe or a beautiful watch case.

Sadly, there's no protection from armed robbers should they manage to get in (and be faster than me to pull out a gun ;-) Glad I've never experienced a robbery yet, but I'm in the camp that it's better to be safe than sorry in these situations -- even if ...

Watch box.

In my watch winder i can storage my watches. I am happy with it. Your new watch case is filled with a watch i have. The Omega SMP300. I like your PO also. It feeds my desire to get a PO 36“ America’s cup. ...  

The SMP 300 is probably my favorite Omega.

 
 By: jlux : July 22nd, 2020-03:46
The PO makes for a good alternative and looks completely different on the wrist.

When i pull the trigger for a PO

 
 By: Weems@8 : July 22nd, 2020-05:08
Is there a difference in wrist comfort? Why my SMP 300 is a daily watch, it’s comfy. I have no experience with bracelets, i have a rubber strap on it. I take a look on your orange PO which strap you have. An 36” America’s cup have a very attractive rubber... 

There is not a big difference in wearing comfort.

 
 By: jlux : July 22nd, 2020-05:32
In fact, even if the PO is larger, the important lug-to-lug distance is almost identical between these 2 watches (+-50 mm). Nevertheless you should check it out : the weight is more important with the PO but this is mainly due to the steel bracelet. The P... 

It is a Turkish company

 
 By: Weems@8 : July 22nd, 2020-03:43
Maybe they do not export to North America. The benefit of living in Europe is, Switzerland is not far away. Turkey is also not at the other side of the globe.

I am pretty sure that they export also to NA.

 
 By: jlux : July 22nd, 2020-03:45
They advise their price even exclusively in USD.

Good news for Orahu

 
 By: Weems@8 : July 22nd, 2020-05:01
Orahu can order a watch case like yours to his home or another desired address.

Quality is really very nice.

 
 By: jlux : July 22nd, 2020-05:20
Miles away from all of these cheap far-east products that you can find everywhere.

Super

I’ve been looking for a while now for one of these things. Indeed either shabby or ridiculous expensive. Do you have contact details from them you could share (if so desired but pm) Jurry

Best is probably to visit their website.

 
 By: jlux : July 22nd, 2020-05:24
Here they show most of their offerings with pricing. I personally find the pricing (of course very subjective) to be adequate with the quality.

Thanks [nt]

 
 By: Jurry : July 22nd, 2020-06:44

So glad to learn about this company and its products — many thanks!

 
 By: Moana43 : July 22nd, 2020-05:49
The watch rolls look quite nice, as well.

Nice collection there

 
 By: Cookies : July 22nd, 2020-07:03
I haven’t got to the part of using boxes yet. I’m quite disorganized, but I now see the importance of being tidy. Just curious, of the pieces you own, which gets the most wrist time and why?

No real favorite there.

 
 By: jlux : July 22nd, 2020-07:16
Usually I change watches every 1-2 days and try to give every piece an equal wearing chance. I do however have a few more to select from ...

Whars better than a briefcase of cash!

 
 By: D-TIME1 : July 23rd, 2020-04:03
A briefcase with this watch collection! The case is stunning as well...maybe one day! Thanks for sharing! -D-
