Just a pain if you want to wear the ones in the middle....

I made a little tree out of doweling with a branch for each watch. Looks like Christmas!

Not really. It unhooks easily from the ends. I usually pick my watch and clothes out th night before work so I don't waste time in the mornings

I cannot wear a watch... all bands tried give me a rash underneath. Nice work though!

How many watches can one man wear?

Are you really Fidel Castro?

My $10.00 Casios are not worthy of a holder that costs $10.00.

Looks good and functional, too. Serious question - did you always collect watches or did you take up an interest in it after you got in the car business? I don't know why, but lots of people in that business collect watches. My son-in-law has about 25 of them, I think.

Ok, be honest now. The watch holder vibrates doesn't it?
