24 slot watch box for a decent price. This was flagged to me in another deal and I have been watching it since then and the price in that time has hovered around $60-65.
It’s great for expanding watch collection as the other boxes are normally around 12 slots.
For budget minded people, this is less than $2 per slot!
CamelCamelCamel.
Fair point, but yes :)
They have a budget for budget watches.
Are budget minded people collecting watches?
Sure. I have a collection of $9 Kmart watches.
I have a collection of Swatch and Casio watches I bought for around $30-80 each. Still budget-ish
I thought most on Ozbargain would do that. I am here, like nice watches but only at (oz)bargain prices.
@WatchNerd
He’s not watch box nerd
Yes, the best box under $100
Bought this few months ago for $60. Great looking storage case. Wish there was a locking mechanism.
wrap around a steel chain and padlock
or put this box inside safety box
at one stage of my life i had almost 20 watches but now sold almost all and wear one smart watch.
i just got confused. we keep/display them in the drawer and then take out to change their battery every 2-3 years and then back to the drawer..
I tend to collect Automatics or EcoDrives Titaniums. Easy to get these started again. However, I do like a nice quartz like Bulova Lunar Pilot Mini that I posted previously.
Perfect for my AliExpress watch replicas
Homage*
BIZARRELY, the category for it is listed as "home improvement". Which, if I'm not mistaken, TopCashBack are currently offering 7% cashback on.
Top drawer for your eco drive & other solar/light power watches.
Thanks to Scrimshaw for the edit.
I am quite sick atm but just wanted this to get to other ozbargainers as it is a decent deal and just put the deal up while Scrimshaw did the fixes. Cheers!
Thx homie, just bought another 2
@G-rig omg!
Nice, just spent 37$ on the 12 slot (actually $22 after the 28d free $15).
I think 24 too big and have them in different spots etc but good price. I think @Rosebank was waiting for these to go on special.
Edit: just noticed the 12 slot is $30, pretty good 👍
May have to contract support, only bought a few days ago ffs.
lolin’ at the brand name
Do they have a carbon fibre model?
I've had one of these before. While good value, the issue me and a mate had with these was that screws on the hinges popped out after a year. I still use the box to hold my watches, but need to be mindful of how I open or it lid will come off unattached. Just barely hanging on now.
I've bought one of these before and had to return it as I found the watch slots to be way too shallow and small for anything other than minimalist automatics with thinner watch cases or very basic digital watches.
G-Shock owners and fans of chonky watches need not apply as the case lid either won't close fully or will be pressing firmly down and against your watches.

I put a few pretty chunky watches into the box. I have a box with some pretty big G-Shocks as well. None of them hit the lid. How big are your watches bro?
My watch collection is probably quite similar to yours in terms of the range of case diameters/thicknesses.
All I know is even the cheapo $20 watch display case I bought off eBay has deeper and larger watch slots than this thing.
The only way I could get some of my larger watches to fit was to not use a watch pillow with them but even then the case lid was basically pressing right up against them.
I don't know if these "BloodyRippa" display cases actually physically vary depending on who's fulfilling them and what stock is on-hand or whether it's their luckydip QA but the one I got a few months ago was a complete joke that almost seemed like it was designed for Swatch watches and nothing else.
They are fine I've got 4 or 5 of them.. doesn't sound like the same thing, are you sure you're doing them up enough? No doubt 8.5" wrist sizes may not sit as well as with watches for smaller wrists (in terms of bracelets etc).
@G-rig: Yeah dude, I know how to put a watch into a watch-sized space, thanks for checking.
I'm telling you this BloodyRippa case was way too small, even smaller than the generic, no-name case I got off eBay. The drawer slots were basically unusable and the upper slots under the glass only worked with no watch pillows and the watches basically pressed right up against the glass.
@Miami Mall Alien: Oh right, we are discussing the ones from Amazon. In particular I'm talking a out the 6 and 12 spot cases, which are more than fine for the price, no idea about the double decker 24 spot case.
Sounds like you're doing it wrong or it was a knock off. I only buy them from Amazon (and cheapest price and free returns as well). I've got Arnie's and all types of watches in mine so doesn't sound like the same case.
Anyway use whatever works obviously champ 😉.
no idea about the double decker 24 spot case.
Great, so you have no clue what you're talking about and yet you know with absolute certainty that I'm wrong?
This deal is for the 24-slot case, which is the one I also purchased previously. TL;DR: was sh*t, returned it, using a cheaper, better case now.
Thanks for the cool stories as always, you have a way of commenting where you manage to contribute even less to a discussion than is possible if you hadn't commented in the first place.
@Miami Mall Alien: Good to know, you sound like a top bloke too.
Was talking in terms of this brand and Amazon based on the other ones of theirs that I have. They are more than fine at the price point. I think it's fair to assume they would be much the same (at least the top level).
Get whatever you want (I don't care) but very easy returns with Amazon and I've never heard anyone else complain.
Anyway the 6 and 12 spot don't have that issue, for anyone else reading these comments (and were also on special).
Caution. I bought a similar one from China and the hinge screw got loose. Judging the book by its cover, I’d say it’s similar quality.
Just bought got this delivered and based on what I received, don’t buy it if you like your good watches. Below are my first impression notes:
The watch holding foam thing (unsure of what it’s called) seems to be hollow and made from cardboard like structure inside. Very poor construction.
The cubicle spaces are not equal so the watches wobble.
The top section is not deep enough and the watch wobbles. I am afraid that small movement will result in watches hitting the glass resulting in scratches to the watch face and bezel.
Bottom section is deeper but not deep enough for wider watches (42mm esk). So when closing, these hit the outer frame of the box.
I will use it to store older smart watches or inexpensive watches while use my original good 12 slot case for the better watches.
Are budget minded people collecting watches? :P
