New Home For The Collection

[bucko170]

I had to relocate my watch collection into a smaller space, after some searching I found quite a large display cabinet in Ikea which was just the right size and I managed to squeeze in all the watches I wanted to display.

It's a little bit cramped but I really should really thin them out and sell some on - although I have been saying this for two years now.. .. .. and thinking about it a better idea would be to buy some extra glass shelves to make some more room instead.

Wow, that´s a nice display! How much time did it take to place all those incredible digitals? What does you wife say as she can see all of your "stuff" at once?

The alcove was already there, no construction work (or destruction work) was required.

My old 'hobby room' which I had previously used to display the watches has now been reclaimed as a bedroom by my son who returned to live back home a short time ago.

Admittedly it took quite a while to position the watches as I like to have them 'just so'. The wife will just have to grin and bear it, bad luck if she doesn't like it - I'm the boss.

Cheers Good luck with the move - I hope it all goes well and nothing gets lost in the process.

Really really nice job Mick. Although,
If I was to have a display cabinet that size I wouldn't be the boss any more.

I spotted a beauty 2nd hand on ebay 5 miles from me. It was like a corner cabinet
with 6 sided, 3 glass fronts with opposing 3 mirror backs. It was perfect for sitting in
a useless return corner on our landing.
When I showed her the listing, I took one look at her face and deleted it.

Anyway nice one dude. You keep the cabinet I'll just have the watches.

Love the new space-saving display case, though I’d be tempted to rotate the watches periodically.

Bottoms up!

Any chance of a hi-res photo?

I second that!
Also, are those all loaded with batteries? If so what's your routine for making sure the batteries all get changed as soon as they fade out?

I will have to pester my son for the high resolution photo, he has the expensive camera - mine is OK for standard photo's only.

I do keep them with batteries installed but test them intermittently replacing any that are found to be dead or on the way out.
