Not looking for anything too crazy. I have 4 watches and am looking for a 5-slot box but a lot of places online list them for huge prices. Are there any good brands that have them for cheap?

I like a 'Peli Case'.

You can get 'em everywhere - from Amazon / eBay to watch sites like Hodinkee or Fratello. Light, rugged and safe.

No more than 100$.

Take a look around on Etsy. You'll find some pretty cheap on there that are likely much better quality than what you'll find on amazon. Some offer personalization and others might have drawers for extra straps and such if that appeals to you.

The price of the watch accessory market is literally insane. You have companies with zero brand recognition or “prestige” charging in some cases thousands of dollars for a basic watch box. It’s madness.

I’m sure there are some that make high quality, affordable products where you’re paying for the materials and quality. Hell, I don’t even mind paying for name brands like with my watches.

My problem is instagram ad campaign companies cosplaying as elite brands and then charging $1500 for a basic watch box.

My recommendation is finding something on Etsy. Personally, I use a valet tray but I know others prefer dedicated boxes. I only have 3 watches in my collection.
