I have just purchased a batch of these clear acrylic watch stands http://www.ebay.com/itm/230638015441?ru ... 26_rdc%3D1 the bases are very slim which allows for more watches to be displayed in a smaller space. The display stand cuff that the watch fits on is adequate only for an average size wrist, if you have a large wrist the watch will be too loose on the cuff and will not stay in place, (the Asian market does seem to cater more for the smaller wrist than the larger wrist), just a couple of the watches I have were too loose on the cuff but I have overcome this problem by using a piece of sponge (ear plug) between the band and the display cuff to pack it out.

The smaller base of the stands has allowed me to fit 8 watches on each row in my wall display case (see previous photo) increasing the capacity in each from 42 watches to a total of 56 watches - so if like me space is at a premium and you do not have a large wrist then these would be a good choice.

Hi Bucko,
Real estate, brother, real estate!!! :-P
Making a dollar out of 50 cents :pimp:
I'm waiting for the new stand that I order to put under the stairs (to be used as storage) so I can use the whole loft as my DISPLAY!!!!! Meanwhile, Im fixing (or trying) a few old watches I had "stored"!!!
I can't wait to start, but every weekend is something :cry:
So far, I haven't bought anything yet, but I went to Ikea and I got many ideas, so, as soon as I have the area cleaned, I will decide.
Btw, I bought exactly the same acrylic watch holders, I don't know if you can see some that I put on the previous stand picture (failure). I bought 75 for now (I got a bargain from the seller), and I agree with you about the size. They are also kind of flimsy, but they are also very inexpensive : )
