I never had proper storage boxes for watch dials, so I decided to buy some 45mm in diameter by CousinsUK.

Swiss made, so they should be good ! 🤩

The internal "propeller" is made of silicone and the lid has a dial centering, making sure that the dial sits nice and snug.

All nice an dandy, apart from the fact, once the lid is pressed on, that you have to open these boxes with a crowbar !!

Not desirable with a sensitive dial inside, potentially flying through the room when the lid finally pops off.

I spend close to 1/2 hr, with a file reducing the diameter of the bottom-edge. Now the lids go on & off as one would expect from "Swiss made".

They should have cost no more than £1 GBP each max, but mind you, these are "Swiss-made" 🤩

After the modification, I'm happy that I have them 😉

BTW, talking about "Swiss-made";

Considering the time I spent modifying these boxes, are they now "Danish-made" ? 😁
