i would consider a properly installed home safe
very safe. mine isnt even very hard to find. you wont see it unless you know
where to look, but i can open it and change a watch within 10 minutes or
less.

insurance is a very good thing to have for when
you wear it outside, but with a few of my watches someone would need to shoot me
or cut my arm off to take it.

the other good technique is to not be very
open about what you own. i live in a very small village, the road outside is
only 4m wide, a stranger would be picked out miles away so i'm very lucky as i'm
unlikely to get an opportunist burglar. the last real crime in our village was
over 5 years go. some of the villagers know what i collect, only a couple of
close friends know what i actually own.

if you go on fleabay have 2 accounts. 1 for
buying and 1 for selling. if you have only 1 account and sell several high value
watches then buy some people do monitor and pick these things up. all they'll do
is buy one of yours and hey presto they have your address!!

in a city its easier to be anonymous, but your
more open to an opportunist.

when you buy a safe buy one bigger than you need
as i bought what looked like a big one, now with only 40 watches its full and i
have some cheaper watches out of the safe.

as a copper).

Graham and friends..
Sorry to bother you again,but I need advice...I normally store my valuables in my bank's safe,but none of those are like this one so I'm thinking of taking out separate insurance on my Omega to have (some) peace of mind when I wear it..not that anything r...
Undoso, if your in UK send me a pm and i'll tell you what i do.
the simplest thing is too put a safe in the wall. my walls are solid stone 60cm or more thick so it was a job, but well worth it. all your watches are within reach daily so you can change whenever you want. as for insurance, thats a different matter entir...
Would you consider a good quality home safe?
Properly installed in a place hard to find, and of good quality, should be a lot cheaper than insurance.
