    I really am not aware of any large watch storage units.
    The largest I have ever seen personally is a 24 case (like a mini suitcase) in leather.

    The only other thought would be the Orbita Bergamo mentioned in the thread a few posts earlier.

    We are an Orbita dealer and can get you anything Orbita makes.

    We also carry wolf design (their largest is for 15 watches)

    Why dont you list some orbita winders at great prices? (Like the Monaco 6) That would be a great addition to this thread.

    We don't carry those anymore.
    We have a tough time selling them.
    No problems that I know of and they are pretty cool.
    The LED flashlight is bright

    We don't stock Orbita's anymore. Wolf design is at the price we need to be with winders.
    Special orders are available at any time. We have known Chuck (Owner of Orbita) since he made the Orbita watch (1999 I think) that switched to Ernst benz, then was sold to someone else a few years ago.
    I wish they can come up with a winder Made in the USA (I think all of their current ones are made here, unless that has changed recently) in the $200 range like the Wolf.

    Orbita is a wonderful company to deal with. And their product is fabulous.

    Here is one you don't see every day.

    I actually don't think they are distributed in the USA yet.

    Small Company from Switzerland.

    I bought it from their Euro Distributor that was contemplating bringing them in.

    Retail price on this piece was (last year) $2250.

    Completely made in Switzerland.

    AR coated Sapphire crystal

    Automatic ETA movement
    Carbon fiber dial
    PVD coated SS case.
    Alligator strap (Sirtoli)
    and the Original Strap (untouched and unworn with PVD buckle)
    Case is 45mm

    http://www.mauricedemauriac.ch/sites/eng/kollektion.html

    $1250 buys it.

    If you are thinking of a trade, PM me with details on what ya got :)
