    Quick, simple and effective, it's just an old paper towel rack that's hung unused beneath a kitchen cabinet for decades. Instead of pitching it I put it to use for all the watches that tend to lay wherever I happen to take them off.

    I sprayed a paper towel tube black but will look into a piece of PVC of appropriate I.D.

    There looks to be room for about seven watches, if you're a one-watch-per-day kind of guy.

    As a bonus, you can use the inside of the tube as storage for your extra bands, pins, etc.

    I've mounted this one in my closet, above the ties and below the fedoras...it's out of the way so watches won't get dropped or lost and the kids can't get to them.

    Materials:
    Cheap paper towel rack
    Empty paper towel roll tube
    black spraypaint
    2 drywall screws

    Total time: 20 minutes waiting for paint to dry; 30 seconds to install.

    Total cost: $0

    Old thread, I know, but is there somehow a possibility to get the photos uploaded once more? Looking for inspiration. Thanks.
