There are a couple of them on ebay. Here is one: http://cgi.ebay.com/White-Watch-Wind...item439e5e2a4c


Google also provided quite a few with the keywords "watch winder pillow" and "watch pillow"

The square pillow design is not a bad one. I know it's not what you want, but it may be cheaper and it would provide a slimmer profile. I don't think it would cost much at all do have done by someone who makes cornhole bags or the like.

Hehe, you said "cornhole"!

I found those same ones online, the watchwinder style, but at $9-10 each I'm looking for something just a little more cost effective. I want to do a case with either 16-20 watches, two rows each tray of either 8-10 and two trays.

I just got my drawing finalized, and found a great piece of Honduran Mahogany that's been in my shop for years just waiting for the right project and this is it. But I really think I need the pillows first, I'm gonna check with the guy who did the upholstery on my camper on Monday.

I got the Wolf 456002 Watch Winder from Amazon about a year ago, and it's been great so far. Super quiet and looks very stylish. It's a bit on the pricier side but totally worth it. Here's the Amazon link and a good review for people who wants more info.

Good luck!

Some people pointed out to me that the review link doesn't work anymore. So, here is the updated one: https://thewatchsnob.net/best-watch-winder

For pillows. ... Why not just find a cheap watch case on eBay and chuck the case. But keep the pillows.

I thought the same, found one online for about $40 with the pillows I like, so I think I'll go that route and just use the box for something else.

[wayner123]

I wanted to add, that you will also want to pad the partitions of the box. The pillows alone won't be good rubbing against each other.. Bobby has a good idea, but at 16-20 that's a very large box. You may want to look at doing two 8's.

Yep, I'm aware of that. I've looked at quite a few boxes, just want one that fits my minds eye.

I say go big.

I want to add another point ten bucks for a single pillow is unreal. Type in "sicuro" on eBay and find their 16 or 2o watch case. It should be less than half what your looking at paying for pillows and includes pillows obviously. Sicuro pillows are Amazing and big. You won't be disappointed. Then use the leftover case to display logo balls hehe.

here it is (Completed listing)

The pillows are wonderfull, and its a 3rd the price as if you bought the pillows seperately. Plus, the quality is great.

You don't need pillows, just use a bent piece of metal with leather glued to the outside. If the metal is thin it should have enough spring in it to keep the watch in place and the leather will protect it.

Make the shape out of wood and bend the metal around it.

I though of that originally, but really want to use the pillows.

this could be very cool if done correctly....


Im no engineer. but i believe this design will work for several reasons. The leather will keep from scratching the watch, the metal will keep the "pillow" boyant and allow it to hold the watch tightly. and the wood (if cut to correct width) will fit snug and taught in the slot.


if those other guys sell OEM pillows for 10, imagine how much you could sell these for?

Picked up this 48mm Beauty for $60 shipped recently.

any bulk collectors interested in buying an entire "Lot" of watches from me? i could get into details, but its probably better done through PM. But they are mostly everyday brands (i.e. invicta, textile brands such as Kenneth Cole, Ecko, etc). I bought the lot about 2 years ago from a fashion warehouse that has tons of accesories for photoshoots, etc.. It definately will bolster anybodies collection... just looking to unload most of them for cheap, willing to trade for cigars too.. lol

Sorry if this post is in the wrong place, just figured since all the wristwatch people were viewing, it'd be easier?

Here are my two watches I picked up this year. Love them both. They are HUGE!

Give me some current rec's, looking for a new 'sport' watch. Has to be BIG, and somewhere under $500.

I have a couple Bulova's that I like but they eat batteries at a ridiculous pace. Might go window shopping tonight for a while.
