Hi, After buying a few watches you get into the luxury problem, how to store them. Especially if you have watches you might only use for a few days a month or possibly a few days a year. I am sure you guys have some good advice. If there are watches you i... 

For me, i do use a box that has both static and winding positions. The box i use is made by Scatola Del Tempo. It is a superb make. I am sure others may comment.

Thanks for your post and I look forward to hearing responses. I may add the additional question, how do fellow purists maintain their manual watches? Is resting the watch between uses ok or is it better to wind the watch manually every couple days (howeve...

Even if I feel more secure to wind them at least once a month. But on Vintage watches, it is more important, at least AFAIK. Best, Nicolas

One sports and one dress, the rest are put away in a bank's vault. And I rotate the watches every two weeks or so. This arrangement allows me to leave home without much paranoia while not totally depriving me of all the joy my watches can bring. Ruckdee
