That's a good thought
I had them all in the cabinet to start with. It's just a big glass box with some desiccant, a winder, and a zillion watches. Nothing was fresh off-the-wrist.

Whose Idea Was It To Store Watches in ZipLock Bags?
I saw this with Bill and some others here. I've used bags for straps and bracelets, but never watches. A few weeks ago when we planned our latest vacation, I went to the store, bought 100 sandwich bags, and bagged up all my watches. Rather than insulating...
You took how many watches with in your lunch box????

I absolutely....
love that particular Astron, I mentioned here before to Ken that it is my favorite Seiko wristwatch made to date! The story with the plastic bags is a good one as well . Cheers, Filip
Oh, there can be a simple good reason: I live in a hilly place,
and the bank which houses the safety deposits is situated downhill, near a lake. Last summer, we had days of hefty rain and these created the worst flooding in 30+ years. I Little river became a big river, went over the river-banks and in the end, the flo...
Are you afraid of vacuuming out the watch too?
Or do you have a tiny nozzle on your vacuum? Cazalea
Can't remember his name, but . . .
. . . he looked an awful lot like Rory Calhoun. [image credit: Spokeo] Seriously. Eight or nine years ago, the under-the-radar gang met in Orange County to visit a watch dealer at the suggestion of one of our members, Mitch K. He'd never actually been ins...
