Re: Show us you’re a watch nerd without telling us you’re a watch nerd
This thread is brilliant! When I’m viewing one watch at a time on CWOTD or NCWOTD I lull myself into being able to pretend that THIS sort of stuff doesn’t exist...
I feel we’re getting to the heart of ourselves here...
My name’s Lindsey and I’m OBSESSED with watches and watch straps.
It’s all about finding your tribe friends

Re: Show us you’re a watch nerd without telling us you’re a watch nerd
I am rapidly coming around to the conclusion that there are, in fact, many different types and grades of watch nerd.

Lol! No room on the nightstand! That one is special, my grandpa's Omega on a higher end Montblanc winder. There's actually another 12-slot watch box out of picture to the left of that winder
Love that framed Rolex picture of yours, too. That whole area is set up really cool

Your repurposed tool chest is my favorite watch storage solution on the forum. Very cool!

That’s me stuffed, then.
Oh, sorry, I thought you said taxidermy.
Seriously though, reading this thread makes me realise that in comparison with some folk I have very low levels of nerdismo, so low in fact that it’s probably safe to let me out on the streets without a nerdherder.

How about a travel pouch just for NATO straps. Two piece straps get a separate storage solution.
The strap width tool is probably another dead giveaway!

I initially wrote taxidermy then double checked the definition because I didn’t think I had the right word!

I got this from Amazon the other day. Feel a bit shady - like a character from Breaking Bad...
I bought it to weigh some watches with
