Great collection Chris - really nicely balanced IMO.
I would be happy to wear any and all of them but my faves are the BB and the Formex.
Thanks for sharing..

An interesting bunch with a good variety of styles and colours.

They may not be perfectly lined up, as if on Military Parade, but it's great to see you have the 'Big Eye' in prime position.

Do you have any changes planned or are you done?

I am going to get a decent box to replace the "Ebay special" currently in use....
For a little while I want to let it be and just enjoy the good place I feel it is in. I'm not a flipper by nature, each watch has been part of the journey and is still very much enjoyed. I have a good thing going where I have something great to wear to work and then get home and change up to something truly fantastic, to my mind anyway. CW and BB58 yesterday, Direnzo and Big Eye today, for example.

That said: CW is on a roll in recent times and I want to enjoy what they are doing. Not everything in the last 12 months or so is me, but gosh they've produced some terrific watches recently. The right colour-way on a C63 Elite will be an impossible temptation :)

Hi Chris,

I think you've got a really wearable collection there. You've really though about it, and nothing is surplus to your requirements. I'm attaching this link I wrote about a watch box I bought. It only holds six watches so you'd need two. This would give you the option to place the boxes side by side or separate them. I have one box at the mo' and think they're excellent, the build quality is superb. They might be worth you considering...

For ten watches the CW Watch Case takes a lot of beating.

Does look good Guy although it only houses 8 watches :) Definitely worth considering just the same.
Hadn't even thought to look there.
Can you tell me though : do you think the cushions squish up enough to close up a bracelet or deployment set to a 6.25" wrist?
This is a real issue with what I have now, and why some things look a bit all over the place: can't close them. A strap, just close to whatever size fits.

^^^^ Squishability of the CW watch box cushions is doable to 6.5" but tight and, IMHO, will affect the longevity of the cushion.

Image

The hard sides of the cushion have a circumference of 7 5/8" and the natural fit for a watch on the cushion is 7.5" which suits me perfectly.

Hope this helps.

A varied and high quality collection. Personally I like them all but if picking favourites the blue 58 and the formex lead the way with honourable mentions doe the longines and the trident diver.
Good stuff :thumbup:
Cheers now, Paul
