otherwise, most of my watches are hacking/winding.. so it takes all but a few seconds to set it

I just pick something based on my mood and wear it when I return home. When I am headed out of town again, I grab my Constellation and go. While I'm gone, they mostly sit. Occasionally, my sons will borrow one and wear it. For example, my youngest is wearing one of them as he does his gap year traveling.

All the best.
both very reasonable. i guess it depends on your style of ownership. i binge wear. havent been able to take off my GMT Coke since i got it. It matches my red /black m3 and so much else that i'm wearing these days

as for setting watches each day. i agree with that if your watches dont have day/date wheels.

My Omega Speedy Triple Calendar is a mega dick to set when it's been sitting unwound so a winder is totally necessary. Also, as much fun as setting watches is i also worry about over-using the crown. That comes from wearing out the crown on a vintage Omega i have. I guess it wouldnt happen on a modern Rolex / Omega.

I wear my Automatic Seamaster to work so it is always charged. I st it on my bedside table when i swap for my evening/casual wear tissot. My battery seamaster sits in my Omega 3 watch case with my replicas from before i could actually afford watches ( i still wear them when i feel it is to risky to wear a real one). A few of my others are in their purchase cases. Often dead.

what do you do with all your other ones?
I actively wear three watches during the entire week. Bell & Ross BR01-92PVD, GMT BLNR and my black face Daytona with a leather Hirsch Rally Strap.
The white face Daytona is BNIB and never worn. My GMT Pepsi is mint too 98% and I'm keeping that for later to rotate.

I just picked up a Versa single watch winder from Amazon for my B&R. Does a great job - quiet enough to be right next to the bed. Take or leave the blue LED mood lighting.

Any recommendations for an affordable display/storage box? I bought a Case Elegance 6-watch box and the pillows were too big for my watches. They are not adjustable either. It’s too bad because I really liked the design of the box (simple and elegant).

Got a Wolf 5-watch box for $215 from Nordstrom. The pillows are a bit small. While they fit, I must angle them otherwise some of the watches sink down a bit and rest on the crowns.

There is one from Rothwell that seems decent. The Holme & Hadfield was a good value but went up $55 making it alright. All are cheaper than Wolf but Wolf’s quality seems good and does what it’s supposed to do. Nordstrom has a good return policy so will try it out for a bit longer and return if needed.

I have a few varieties of these. I like that I can easily travel with a few watches and keep them protected:

They are also reasonably priced.

I have a Wolf single winder and another brand (Heiden?) dual winder that I found on Amazon for the automatics. The rest are in a watch storage case.

I had two custom drawers made in our walk-in closet when the house was being built. They store a total of 16 pieces. Then I have a 4 watch winder in which I keep the 4 watches I have on rotation at any given time. I also have a watch box with 22 or so spaces but I rarely ever open it and I think it has some junk watches in it.

I have this Wolf Winder and a double as overflow. I keep a few watches in there and have a "hanger" I keep a couple on. Cheap one from AMZN.

Just bot a Panerai 44mm Marina. Love it. My fave is a GMT Pepsi Z serial. Just love it!
