Watch Stands for Free
In Response To: nice thread.... ()


You ask, "Anyone know where to get simple plastic (or any other cheap) watch display stands? Ebay or google search brings up too much crap."

My solution was to walk into a fancy mall, wearing a big, fat Monaco (vintage), and ask some friendly looking clerks in the nice jewelry stores whether they could spare a stand. Two requests yielded two stands, and I would say that the key elements are (a) wearing a watch that shows them you are serious about this hobby and (b) being really nice to the clerks.
