00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:12,200
Welcome to this Watch LIVE. 
Hi, I'm Lydia Winters. 

2
00:00:12,240 --> 00:00:16,600
And I'm Boo Booy. 
OK so I have the best story. 

3
00:00:16,680 --> 00:00:20,920
It is unrelated to watches, but 
I I can't not tell it. 

4
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,720
You haven't even told me this 
story yet, so I'm very curious. 

5
00:00:25,560 --> 00:00:28,000
Ask me about my day yesterday. 
How? 

6
00:00:28,000 --> 00:00:32,759
Was your day yesterday. 
It was a dumpster fire. 

7
00:00:33,600 --> 00:00:38,680
Wait, wait, hold on, wait what? 
Maybe I have heard the story 

8
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,320
then. 
You have not. 

9
00:00:40,320 --> 00:00:44,760
OK, I turned the corner with my 
mom as we were running to the 

10
00:00:44,760 --> 00:00:48,520
convenience store. 
OK, and what did I see but a 

11
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:52,440
literal dumpster fire? 
A fire in a dumpster. 

12
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:54,240
Wait, really? 
Yes. 

13
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:57,680
Like just an uncontrolled 
dumpster fire. 

14
00:00:58,000 --> 00:00:59,040
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
The, the. 

15
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:03,920
So my mom ran in to tell the 
people who run the store so they

16
00:01:03,960 --> 00:01:06,240
could make sure they had already
called 911. 

17
00:01:06,880 --> 00:01:09,760
I was sitting there waiting for 
her. 

18
00:01:09,760 --> 00:01:14,200
And then I was like, wait, it's 
a literal dumpster fire. 

19
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:17,600
So I jumped out of the car and 
took a photo of it because it 

20
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,480
was like. 
Wait, it took you to realize the

21
00:01:20,480 --> 00:01:24,720
joke before you even went to 
take a picture of this fire? 

22
00:01:25,720 --> 00:01:28,280
That's interesting. 
People just. 

23
00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:30,280
Go to take pictures of 
everything these days. 

24
00:01:30,320 --> 00:01:32,120
Yeah, but I would have to get 
out of the car. 

25
00:01:32,120 --> 00:01:34,760
So it took that. 
It took that extra thing, but 

26
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,360
OK. 
So all I've been thinking about 

27
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:39,840
since then is like the 
firefighters who I also helped 

28
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:43,200
flag down, American Hero. 
You are a hero. 

29
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,480
You saved that dumpster, 
although probably not That 

30
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:48,280
dumpster pride needs to be 
replaced. 

31
00:01:49,320 --> 00:01:54,160
But the best part is I just 
thought about how if you were 

32
00:01:54,160 --> 00:01:59,480
the firefighter that was called 
to the scene and you got home, 

33
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:06,240
you could say today was a 
dumpster fire and it would 

34
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:09,400
literally be true. 
And I just can't stop thinking 

35
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:11,280
about it. 
But you get to say the same 

36
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:13,600
thing. 
Yes, and I will. 

37
00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,720
Dumpster fire photo OK, It's a 
like a big dumpster fire OK. 

38
00:02:19,120 --> 00:02:20,920
We're not talking about a little
bit of smoke. 

39
00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:23,040
No, no, no. 
There were flames. 

40
00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,400
Like, like flames. 
Wow, about like. 

41
00:02:26,480 --> 00:02:29,520
OK, well how well did this 
happen after I already went to 

42
00:02:29,520 --> 00:02:31,880
sleep? 
Yeah, you were already asleep. 

43
00:02:32,640 --> 00:02:36,280
And my mom and I were on a 
mission to get some whipped 

44
00:02:36,280 --> 00:02:39,120
cream for Key Lime Pie. 
This isn't very Florida. 

45
00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:43,760
Yeah, you were going to the 
convenience store to get some 

46
00:02:43,760 --> 00:02:48,080
Key Lime Pie and there was a 
dumpster on oh of whipped cream 

47
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,360
for your Key Lime Pie. 
This. 

48
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:52,240
Is a very. 
Florida story. 

49
00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,160
Yeah, yeah, it is a very 
Florida. 

50
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:57,320
Story. 
Well, I, I'm, I'm impressed that

51
00:02:57,320 --> 00:03:02,000
you were able to hold this story
from me so that we could record 

52
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:03,520
it live. 
Yes. 

53
00:03:03,520 --> 00:03:06,000
Good. 
Job because it's it's one of my 

54
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,200
favorite things. 
Now I'm going to tell everyone. 

55
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,960
So Adrian PT asks, would love to
hear your thoughts on watch 

56
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,720
storage both at home and on the 
road. 

57
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:21,800
What are your go to boxes, 
rolls, wallets, etcetera and how

58
00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:26,320
do you handle security? 
Well, I'm glad we started with 

59
00:03:26,320 --> 00:03:28,720
the simple question of a 
dumpster fire. 

60
00:03:30,080 --> 00:03:32,880
This is this is, this is a 
really tough one. 

61
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:37,240
And I think, I mean, especially 
because it's like so terrible. 

62
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:41,160
We've had lots of friends who 
have been robbed of watches. 

63
00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:46,800
I guess being robbed is 
typically being armed, stolen, 

64
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:50,120
burglarized. 
And it's just, yeah, it's a 

65
00:03:50,120 --> 00:03:52,760
scary. 
It's a scary topic. 

66
00:03:52,920 --> 00:03:56,760
It is a scary topic. 
And there's also lots of news, 

67
00:03:56,760 --> 00:03:59,480
you know, and the news like 
their whole deal is to get 

68
00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:02,120
people watching. 
And so they're incentivized to 

69
00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:06,320
also blow things up sometimes. 
So sometimes things might even 

70
00:04:06,320 --> 00:04:10,440
seem worse than they really are.
But like, it's just terrible 

71
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:12,440
that we have to talk about this.
But it is a thing. 

72
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:14,120
It's it affects a lot of. 
People. 

73
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,560
But I guess we're talking about 
the security side of it and the 

74
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:20,720
watch storage side, not? 
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, we're 

75
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:21,720
not. 
Going into debt. 

76
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:25,440
Side, there are two things to 
talk about that are related. 

77
00:04:25,440 --> 00:04:29,160
Like you said, storage and 
security, they're separate, but 

78
00:04:29,440 --> 00:04:32,480
the way we do it at least they 
become quite related. 

79
00:04:32,760 --> 00:04:36,520
So and also I'm not going to 
talk about insurance or any of 

80
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,200
that kind of stuff. 
Like great, it's a good idea get

81
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,320
insured, you know, like that, do
that. 

82
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:44,040
But that's not what this is 
about. 

83
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:47,320
The question was more about 
security and about storage. 

84
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:51,760
So we'll start with security as 
like there's OK, there's so many

85
00:04:51,760 --> 00:04:53,800
things to worry about when it 
comes to storing your watches at

86
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,680
home. 
Like the big ones though are 

87
00:04:56,680 --> 00:05:00,000
probably burglary and 
environmental damage. 

88
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:03,560
And of course there's robbery. 
But in that case, give them the 

89
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:05,600
watches. 
Like if someone comes to rob 

90
00:05:05,600 --> 00:05:08,480
you, then give them the watches 
and leave with your life. 

91
00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,640
And you know. 
Yeah, I've always been a big 

92
00:05:10,640 --> 00:05:12,640
proponent of that. 
Like, what do you want? 

93
00:05:12,840 --> 00:05:16,160
I I said I was going to be like,
oh, the pin is this. 

94
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,800
Like, yeah, also, hey, I have a 
cake in the fridge if you're 

95
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,360
hungry. 
Like, have it and then please go

96
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:26,040
be on your merry way. 
Like, what can I give you to 

97
00:05:26,040 --> 00:05:28,480
make you leave? 
You know, it sounds like we're 

98
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,960
joking, but no, this is actually
like our mentality is stuff is 

99
00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,800
stuff. 
Versus life, yes. 

100
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,720
Exactly. 
So the only thing that will keep

101
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:40,920
your watches safe in that case, 
if you have the mentality that 

102
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,600
we do that just like give them 
whatever they you have to do to 

103
00:05:44,600 --> 00:05:48,600
get rid of them, is like, if 
those watches aren't at home at 

104
00:05:48,600 --> 00:05:51,080
all, like they aren't with you, 
right? 

105
00:05:51,080 --> 00:05:53,400
And like, OK, so this is all 
we're going to talk about 

106
00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:55,440
robbery. 
But it brings us to our first 

107
00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:58,000
piece of advice, which is off 
site storage. 

108
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:01,760
Like at any given time, I think 
it's a good idea to have at 

109
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:05,880
least part, if not most of your 
watches at off site storage. 

110
00:06:06,080 --> 00:06:08,800
And usually that means like a 
bank or other safety deposit 

111
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:10,680
box. 
But like there are different 

112
00:06:10,680 --> 00:06:13,760
options out there that you can 
look up for off site storage 

113
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:18,560
that is secure and also insured 
and that you will have Peace of 

114
00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,800
Mind when your watches are 
there. 

115
00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,960
But it it adds and this is going
to be the themes or this whole 

116
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:28,240
talk, it adds inconvenience, 
right? 

117
00:06:28,240 --> 00:06:30,640
Because isn't it? 
The more difficult it is to 

118
00:06:30,640 --> 00:06:32,880
steal, the more difficult it is 
to wear right. 

119
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:38,440
Basically like that is kind of 
the theme here, right? 

120
00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:42,800
Like, so if you, OK, if you have
valuables, you know, jewelry, 

121
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:48,400
watches, you put them in a safe 
deposit box at the bank. 

122
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,440
Actually, I'm going to specific 
use bank in the in this example,

123
00:06:51,640 --> 00:06:54,080
because banks have such limiting
hours, right? 

124
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,200
That's why there are also other 
options. 

125
00:06:56,440 --> 00:07:00,280
But like if you do that, then 
the only time you get to to 

126
00:07:00,280 --> 00:07:03,880
interact with those things is if
you plan ahead, go there during 

127
00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:05,920
bank hours and get them out, 
right? 

128
00:07:06,120 --> 00:07:10,520
So like that feels very 
inconvenient, incredibly safe, 

129
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,000
incredibly inconvenient. 
So then you have to balance 

130
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,760
things out, which is why usually
I'd say most people would keep 

131
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:23,200
part of their collection at 
these safety deposit boxes so 

132
00:07:23,200 --> 00:07:26,600
that it's it's more convenient 
that you have a couple options. 

133
00:07:26,840 --> 00:07:31,040
But then you never have 
everything at home all at once 

134
00:07:31,040 --> 00:07:34,560
where it could be in danger 
because, you know, burglary is 

135
00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:37,640
not the only way that things go.
But like, you could have a fire 

136
00:07:37,640 --> 00:07:40,280
at home, There could be 
flooding, there could be, 

137
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,480
depending on where you live, 
tornadoes, hurricanes. 

138
00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:45,320
Like, you know, there are other 
ways that that your watches 

139
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:49,760
could be damaged. 
Although I, I feel like when you

140
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,480
get to these certain levels, 
it's kind of like, yeah, OK, 

141
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,040
things have gotten really bad. 
And maybe the watches won't be 

142
00:07:56,040 --> 00:07:58,240
your first thing to think about 
in that in that case. 

143
00:07:58,240 --> 00:07:59,800
But we're not talking about 
that. 

144
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,200
We're just talking about 
watches. 

145
00:08:01,600 --> 00:08:06,120
And I think the biggest thing 
that we do ourselves is to keep 

146
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:09,800
watches off site. 
Like the priciest ones are 

147
00:08:09,800 --> 00:08:13,000
usually the ones that are there.
And then you know that at any 

148
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:18,280
given time, if anything happens,
that some or if not most are 

149
00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:21,280
safe. 
Yeah, absolutely. 

150
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:27,320
I think it's just like to me, I 
think it's funny when I think of

151
00:08:27,320 --> 00:08:30,840
safety deposit boxes because I 
always think of like a little 

152
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,760
old lady going to get it or like
someone you know, trying to 

153
00:08:34,760 --> 00:08:37,480
figure out. 
It's like always sort of a thing

154
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,080
in a movie of like you have to 
go. 

155
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:42,360
It's like one of the. 
Clues and then. 

156
00:08:42,360 --> 00:08:45,640
You go there and you open it and
there's like another clue. 

157
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:47,880
In the safety. 
But it's much more simple than 

158
00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:51,280
that. 
Real life is is at least not 

159
00:08:51,280 --> 00:08:55,240
that inconvenient. 
It's not a series of clues that 

160
00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:58,400
you have to go through. 
So that brings us to our second 

161
00:08:58,480 --> 00:09:01,960
piece of advice, splitting up 
your storage. 

162
00:09:02,040 --> 00:09:06,320
So even if you keep all of your 
watches at home, like it's best 

163
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,040
not to keep them all in one 
place, right? 

164
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,600
Obviously, Because if someone 
does, if we're talking about 

165
00:09:12,600 --> 00:09:16,520
burglary, which I do think is 
most people's main fear is 

166
00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:18,440
burglary. 
It's what we've thought about 

167
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:22,320
the most, right? 
And so having multiple storage 

168
00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:26,040
containers and then keeping 
those containers in different 

169
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,200
places makes it less likely that
you'll lose everything. 

170
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:32,200
So even the watches that you do 
have at home, don't just keep 

171
00:09:32,200 --> 00:09:36,800
them in one nice easy to take 
package that's in one place, 

172
00:09:36,840 --> 00:09:38,720
right? 
Like and you just put a bow on 

173
00:09:38,720 --> 00:09:40,640
it and you say like, have a 
great day. 

174
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:44,280
I mean, unfortunately that is 
what it could feel. 

175
00:09:44,320 --> 00:09:45,760
Like that is. 
What happened? 

176
00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:49,720
And so like, it's like it's just
the fact that security is 

177
00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:51,360
inconvenient. 
It is a trade off. 

178
00:09:51,480 --> 00:09:55,760
Like that is just a fact. 
And so you have to decide what 

179
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,400
level of inconvenience is worth 
it to you, I guess. 

180
00:09:59,400 --> 00:10:03,320
But like you could, OK, you 
could, you could go spend a 

181
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:05,680
bunch of money. 
Like if you, I mean, hey, we're 

182
00:10:05,680 --> 00:10:09,120
collecting watches, we have at 
least some kind of money, right?

183
00:10:09,320 --> 00:10:12,440
You could go and spend a bunch 
of that money instead of buying 

184
00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:16,120
watches and have like convenient
and attractive storage. 

185
00:10:16,440 --> 00:10:20,360
However, most of us are not 
going to like get like some 

186
00:10:20,360 --> 00:10:22,520
super high tech safe that's 
built into. 

187
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,320
Like you know how many? 
Watches exactly that's. 

188
00:10:25,320 --> 00:10:28,000
High tech, safe cost. 
Just have a regular. 

189
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:29,640
I'll just have a few regular 
safes. 

190
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:33,720
Yeah, I mean this is, this is 
also part of the trade off when 

191
00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:38,120
you look at the safes that will 
actually really do a good job of

192
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,920
keeping your valuables safe. 
I'm not just talking about 

193
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,160
fireproof safes because you can 
get relatively affordable safes 

194
00:10:45,160 --> 00:10:48,960
that would keep your watches 
from like too much damage in a 

195
00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:53,480
home fire, but like safes that 
will keep people out of them. 

196
00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:58,320
Like you have to go pretty high 
end to get to safes that are and

197
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:03,040
everything you know, all of this
is like it's all on a scale, 

198
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,040
right? 
O the third OK third piece of 

199
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:10,360
advice, use hard to find places 
and that is not what most people

200
00:11:10,360 --> 00:11:12,880
think it is. 
I've done so much research on 

201
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:16,000
this over the years and it's 
very funny because. 

202
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:19,000
It sounds like you. 
Yeah, but most people think the 

203
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,800
same way. 
Like, so they're like, I know 

204
00:11:21,800 --> 00:11:24,440
where I'll put it. 
No one would ever think of this.

205
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,720
I'm going to put it in the 
toilet, you know, like. 

206
00:11:27,720 --> 00:11:30,320
The water. 
And it's like, Nope, 

207
00:11:30,560 --> 00:11:33,960
unfortunately, so many people do
that that it becomes. 

208
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,600
Freezer too. 
The freezer is also at like a 

209
00:11:37,600 --> 00:11:43,080
horrible place because watch 
very often cash and jewelry in 

210
00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:44,640
the freezer. 
Yeah, I guess watch people 

211
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:46,000
aren't probably going to put 
their. 

212
00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:48,080
Watches in the. 
Freezer, but cash and jewelry 

213
00:11:48,080 --> 00:11:52,760
are often stored in freezers or 
in like literally cookie jars 

214
00:11:53,040 --> 00:11:56,440
like these. 
Unfortunately, thanks to movies,

215
00:11:56,440 --> 00:12:00,520
I think a lot of these things 
sound like a good idea but are 

216
00:12:00,520 --> 00:12:03,360
also so common that burglars 
know these places. 

217
00:12:03,560 --> 00:12:06,640
Your clothes closet. 
Like that's where most people 

218
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:11,320
store store a lot of value. 
If I saw a cookie jar on a on 

219
00:12:11,520 --> 00:12:14,360
any counter, I would. 
In this day and age, I would be 

220
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:16,240
like, oh, they got their money 
in there. 

221
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,200
It's their watches. 
It's just a bowl of watches. 

222
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:23,400
Who keeps just a cookie jar? 
Full of cookie jar but also a 

223
00:12:23,400 --> 00:12:26,960
cookie jar. 
So, okay, also, well, the most 

224
00:12:26,960 --> 00:12:29,280
obvious is don't keep it out in 
the open, right? 

225
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:32,720
Like sometimes you may want to 
display something that's cool 

226
00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:35,520
for when you have guests, but 
then just put that stuff away, 

227
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:38,400
right? 
It's always scary because you 

228
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,680
know, I have my watch on my 
night stand. 

229
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:42,600
But then there's. 
More fun times. 

230
00:12:43,640 --> 00:12:46,760
No, but I'm saying then there's 
been times when we leave home 

231
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:50,200
and all of a sudden I realized 
that I have a watch just 

232
00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:51,120
sitting. 
Out. 

233
00:12:52,200 --> 00:12:54,200
Yeah. 
And and then I'm like, hey, we 

234
00:12:54,200 --> 00:12:56,680
have to go back because I. 
Decided to wear. 

235
00:12:56,680 --> 00:12:58,480
Something else or like, I can't,
you know? 

236
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:03,040
And so I'm always like every day
now I just no matter what I'm 

237
00:13:03,040 --> 00:13:05,200
doing, the watch goes straight 
back on the wrist. 

238
00:13:05,440 --> 00:13:07,400
Yeah, exactly. 
That's what you got to do. 

239
00:13:07,480 --> 00:13:09,440
And then under the better 
mattress. 

240
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,640
It's like the the most common 
place to hide valuables. 

241
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,840
I don't like that 'cause I'm 
like the Princess and the pea 

242
00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:18,720
who, like, can't sleep if 
there's like a tiny thing. 

243
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,880
So I'd be like, Oh no, the watch
indent. 

244
00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:28,200
OK, but like good ideas are 
like, how do you find places 

245
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:34,320
that are hard to even find or 
see, let alone like that they 

246
00:13:34,320 --> 00:13:37,920
would be obvious. 
So false walls like this, this 

247
00:13:37,920 --> 00:13:42,440
is stuff you do see in movies, 
but it's not actually that 

248
00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:45,280
common that you're going to come
across it so. 

249
00:13:45,280 --> 00:13:47,320
But they have to go quick. 
So that's the thing. 

250
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:48,960
Yeah. 
Yeah, it's again, it's back to 

251
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:51,960
that being inconvenient for both
them and you, everybody. 

252
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:56,320
'S in exactly, exactly so false 
walls, false floors that false 

253
00:13:56,320 --> 00:14:00,880
drawers different things like 
yeah, you if you get creative, 

254
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:04,600
you can actually have quite good
storage at home. 

255
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:08,280
The end of course, the downside 
to you is inconvenience. 

256
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:11,000
You have like multiple places 
across your house that you're 

257
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,400
keeping different watches and 
you have to keep track of it all

258
00:14:13,400 --> 00:14:16,680
and you have to, like you said, 
remember to put them there and 

259
00:14:16,680 --> 00:14:18,840
not just leave something sitting
out. 

260
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,760
But like the and the reason I'm 
not talking too much about safe,

261
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,360
there's like too many variables 
when it comes to safes. 

262
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:29,040
Like we have a garage and I have
tools in the garage and you 

263
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:31,720
could use my angle grinder to 
get into a safe. 

264
00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:36,720
Like most safes you can cut into
with fairly basic tools. 

265
00:14:36,720 --> 00:14:39,960
Not like super high end hard to 
get tools like basic. 

266
00:14:39,960 --> 00:14:41,600
That's cool. 
It's cool though that you 

267
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,320
provide the tools on. 
I know. 

268
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:45,640
What a guy. 
This is one of the things when 

269
00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:48,360
you look into security, they're 
like, look, if you have a garage

270
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:51,680
and you have tools like angle 
grinders, these types of things,

271
00:14:51,880 --> 00:14:55,000
then you have to think different
about security because you can't

272
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,720
just throw a safe in there and 
think everything's going to be 

273
00:14:57,720 --> 00:14:59,960
fine. 
You're going to need multiple 

274
00:14:59,960 --> 00:15:04,480
levels of security because 
you're providing the tools to 

275
00:15:04,480 --> 00:15:08,080
break into your own security. 
And even if you don't, people. 

276
00:15:08,080 --> 00:15:10,360
Throw a safe in. 
There and just. 

277
00:15:10,360 --> 00:15:14,240
Throw everything will be safe. 
OK. 

278
00:15:14,240 --> 00:15:17,800
So bottom line, and then we'll 
end the security part is that 

279
00:15:17,800 --> 00:15:22,560
aside from off site storage, 
right, every other tactic, 

280
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,120
you're just using time against 
these burglars, right? 

281
00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,360
Usually, like especially if you 
have an alarm system, like they 

282
00:15:30,360 --> 00:15:32,560
know they have a limited amount 
of time. 

283
00:15:33,120 --> 00:15:35,640
If you have an alarm, they have 
a limited amount of time. 

284
00:15:35,880 --> 00:15:39,200
And So what you're really trying
to do is place more time between

285
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:42,320
them and your watches. 
So the harder they are to find, 

286
00:15:42,480 --> 00:15:45,280
the harder they are to cut into.
You know, if you are using a 

287
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:48,720
safe, like the more secure your 
safe is, the more split up your 

288
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,960
collection is. 
That means you're putting way 

289
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,000
more time in between them and 
the watches. 

290
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:58,920
And that's the most likely thing
if they're not off site to keep 

291
00:15:59,200 --> 00:16:00,640
them safe. 
It's just. 

292
00:16:00,640 --> 00:16:02,600
Like how hard? 
It is to find. 

293
00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:06,440
And that's the part that you 
have to remember to like do it 

294
00:16:06,440 --> 00:16:08,520
all the time. 
I think that's the hard thing 

295
00:16:08,520 --> 00:16:12,720
because I know for my parents, 
their house was burglarized 

296
00:16:12,720 --> 00:16:14,960
years ago. 
And it was like the one day my 

297
00:16:14,960 --> 00:16:18,560
mom didn't move her jewelry into
like the place that she 

298
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,000
typically moved it. 
And that's what happens is like,

299
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,520
you go quickly and leave. 
But it let it not only took away

300
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:29,360
like the safety, but then it 
also made her feel so much 

301
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:31,960
regret like. 
For yourself and that's. 

302
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:35,920
Such a hard, like, it's such a 
terrible, like, terrible, 

303
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:38,920
terrible thing to happen. 
And then if you feel like you 

304
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:41,680
could have prevented it, it's 
even worse. 

305
00:16:41,680 --> 00:16:43,480
And that's, yeah, that makes it 
really sad. 

306
00:16:43,760 --> 00:16:46,360
OK, let's let's transition into 
happy. 

307
00:16:46,480 --> 00:16:48,520
Yeah, yeah, yeah. 
Then let's talk about storage, 

308
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,920
cause storage is way more fun. 
So I prefer and I know you 

309
00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,640
prefer the deluxe zip cases. 
I bought you one a couple of 

310
00:16:55,640 --> 00:16:57,800
years ago and. 
For my birthday. 

311
00:16:57,840 --> 00:17:01,000
Yeah, for your birthday, it held
eight watches or it holds 8 

312
00:17:01,000 --> 00:17:05,520
watches and like in love like, 
yeah, beautiful, convenient, 

313
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:09,440
easy to use, fantastic. 
Like, yeah, what what is there 

314
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:11,640
to say about them? 
There are plenty of other 

315
00:17:11,640 --> 00:17:15,119
options as well. 
Like I like that leather case 

316
00:17:15,359 --> 00:17:19,359
because I also own hard ones. 
So I bought a wooden one on 

317
00:17:19,359 --> 00:17:21,160
Etsy. 
This is before I had my own 

318
00:17:21,160 --> 00:17:22,920
workshop and couldn't build my 
own. 

319
00:17:22,920 --> 00:17:26,119
And so I, I bought one that 
someone had built in Poland and 

320
00:17:26,119 --> 00:17:29,560
it's really beautiful, but it's 
hard and it's just a pain 

321
00:17:29,560 --> 00:17:31,960
because I don't leave it out. 
I think if you're going to leave

322
00:17:31,960 --> 00:17:37,680
it out, which again, if you 
scroll back in the in in this 

323
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,600
episode and you can hear how we 
say don't do that. 

324
00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:42,760
But if you were going to leave 
it out, then yeah, these wooden 

325
00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:46,160
boxes can be beautiful and very 
easy to use. 

326
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,200
But since I don't leave things 
out, then it becomes a little 

327
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,880
bit more of a pain. 
I also have some of my watches 

328
00:17:53,880 --> 00:17:58,240
in a like this super heavy duty 
like worn and wound metal case 

329
00:17:58,480 --> 00:18:02,920
that you gave me and I like, I, 
I think it looks cool. 

330
00:18:02,920 --> 00:18:06,280
It feels cool. 
But again, it's a pain because 

331
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:09,880
it's heavy and it's hard. 
And so when I am putting that 

332
00:18:09,880 --> 00:18:12,720
away, it's just a little bit 
annoying. 

333
00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:17,080
Yeah, it was a free gift when I 
bought my Auris bronze in the US

334
00:18:17,440 --> 00:18:19,960
and then I left it at my 
sister's house 'cause I was 

335
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,080
like, I cannot bring this. 
Like too big, like way too 

336
00:18:23,080 --> 00:18:25,240
heavy. 
And then when Mindy came and 

337
00:18:25,240 --> 00:18:26,960
visited us, she's like, here it 
is. 

338
00:18:27,160 --> 00:18:29,520
And you are so excited. 
You were like I want. 

339
00:18:29,800 --> 00:18:31,640
Here's the thing. 
I love that thing. 

340
00:18:31,920 --> 00:18:35,400
I I just for the way I use it. 
It's not perfect. 

341
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,720
Yeah, I prefer like a bunch of 
small cases, like 3 to 8 versus 

342
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:44,320
even though I think it's so cool
when I see a photo where it's 

343
00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:49,000
like everything I don't know, I,
I'm always, I feel I feel like 

344
00:18:49,000 --> 00:18:52,480
I'm more of like a squirrel type
store store. 

345
00:18:52,920 --> 00:18:56,160
I want to make sure there's like
little watches like hidden. 

346
00:18:57,680 --> 00:19:01,360
The The thing is also like 
actual squirrels, you sometimes 

347
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:04,320
forget where some of your 
watches are because you have 

348
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,040
even more security spots than I 
do. 

349
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:11,600
You know what my theory is? 
If I can't find it, a burglar 

350
00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,040
can't. 
Well, that's a pretty good 

351
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:15,680
that's a pretty good theory. 
I'm. 

352
00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,480
Not sure. 
If that's true, I would I would 

353
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:19,600
say. 
But also the other thing that I 

354
00:19:19,600 --> 00:19:24,720
love is we have. 
We have watch pouches from watch

355
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,480
pouch and I bring those like on 
this trip I only wanted to bring

356
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:34,040
a Nomos and I bore my Tudor BB 
54 and it was like that was all 

357
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:36,960
I had and it was so easy to just
wear that. 

358
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,480
And the watch pouch. 
Like bring wear one, bring one. 

359
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:43,480
Yeah, wear one, bring one. 
Then Something like a watch 

360
00:19:43,480 --> 00:19:45,960
pouch is nice. 
You can Stow it very easily. 

361
00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,800
You can hide it in a hidden 
pocket in your bag while you're 

362
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,880
traveling. 
It makes it a little bit more 

363
00:19:50,880 --> 00:19:52,120
secure. 
I get. 

364
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:55,240
In bag pockets is a whole, and 
traveling with watches is 

365
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,960
another. 
No, no, well, we don't have time

366
00:19:58,040 --> 00:20:01,880
to get started on that, but OK. 
The last one, the one I've used 

367
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,840
the most actually, 'cause I used
it for years and years before I 

368
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:10,360
ever found Watch Pouch. 
Like was this flat heavy canvas 

369
00:20:10,360 --> 00:20:14,400
roll that I got when we just 
stumbled into Warren and wounds 

370
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:18,320
wind up watch fair in Chelsea 
market in 2016. 

371
00:20:18,760 --> 00:20:22,280
And I just bought this canvas 
roll that holds 2 watches 

372
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:25,280
completely flat. 
I used it for like 5 years. 

373
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:28,040
It it was great. 
Holds 2 watches, super compact. 

374
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,680
So like there are a lot of 
options out there, but I would 

375
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,440
say that for travel, keep it 
small. 

376
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:36,480
That just makes it easier to 
manage. 

377
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:39,680
I mean, I guess this is then 
then we're rounding back out to 

378
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,520
security. 
We used to travel with way too 

379
00:20:41,520 --> 00:20:42,280
many watches. 
Oh. 

380
00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:45,320
For sure. 
But then what I found is all the

381
00:20:45,320 --> 00:20:49,760
time I'm just thinking about 
watches like where they are and 

382
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,200
knowing that like a hotel safe, 
isn't it? 

383
00:20:52,320 --> 00:20:57,040
So it just now I'm very minimal.
I'm just like, look, I love all 

384
00:20:57,040 --> 00:20:59,160
my watches. 
I'll get to go back to them. 

385
00:20:59,200 --> 00:21:03,440
Yes, I just need to bring one or
two on my trip and not like spot

386
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:04,920
makes. 
The heart grow fonder. 

387
00:21:05,440 --> 00:21:08,320
Yeah, exactly. 
I would love to know what your 

388
00:21:08,320 --> 00:21:11,640
security and storage is. 
What are your best best tips, 

389
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:14,120
best tips so we can all use 
them? 

390
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:18,240
Yes, bye everyone. 
Bye, stay safe.
