Tangentially watch related but does anyone use a document safe at home to keep documents and watches when they won’t be worn for a while? I usually leave mine on winders in my closet but if I know I won’t be wearing some for a time (or if the cleaners are coming) it’d be nice to be able to lock them away.

Yes. One of these SentrySafe bad boys should do the trick.

Eh, it’s like semi-hidden. They’re all insured, and the others are just out on my dresser dizzily spinning on a winder. I’m working hard on not being too attached to material things. I appreciate them but don’t want to *need* them.

Everything is obviously fully insured

I personally don’t but my colleague had his Royal Oak stolen from his watch box during house renovations. Some roofers have exquisite tastes

Fireproof home safes won’t do a damn thing (they’re only rated for a limited amount of time, and in the event of a fire they’ll cook far longer).
Safety deposit box at the bank to store all things I (1) can’t easily replace (including all important documents), and (2) don’t need to have on me.

I like concealed cubbies for things I have to keep in the house but don’t want to be stolen. Technically less secure than a small home safe but if you don’t know it’s there, hard to make off my with my goods. I have a more modest collection for now but usually only have 1 nice watch at home at a time- it’s on my wrist if there are strangers in the house.

My watches are insured but I have all 8 of them in the house, locked in my winder.

Yeah I have a standard Sentry fireproof safe bolted to the floor. It’s full of money, personal items, drugs, etc 😉

Then I cut the bottom off a cardboard box, put it over it and then covered it in old magazines.

It’s where I put everything I look for and can’t find and then go “ohhh right, it’s in the safe!”. Couldn’t find my Diamond datejust for like a year before realizing it was in the safe…
