For anybody who lives in a humid climate.....
Are dry boxes a good idea for watch storage?
or not necessary?
I know a lot of people use them for photography equipment.... which none of my watches are....

Buy some Silica gel sachets to put in with your watches if you're concerned (and replace them from time to time)![]()
Yeah, I could do that I guess.
But should I be concerned or does it not really matter? I suppose I am more worried about the leather vs. the actual watch.... I think....
If you live in a humid climate you could possibly end up with rust in the watch. It's a very real scenario. I would never tightly seal a watch where I live for this reason. I've tightly sealed guns for a few months and voila, rust. It's just not a good idea. Use them for short term storage only
Silica gel packs.

If it is water resistant, wouldn't that make it a non-issue?
At least internally. The outside I am thinking would depend solely on the grade and quality of the stainless, or other material.
At least that's how it makes sense in my head.
What exactly are these dry boxes you talk about?, are they just hermetically sealed boxes ?
or hermetically sealed with forms of moisture removal inside too? (i.e. silica gel sachets), because without you're just sealing in moist/humid air in your box and keeping it in there.
I just have a few silica gel sachets in my usual watch case to keep moisture under control.

No need in my opinion, if it's a diver let it rain....if it's a dressy piece, it will live till the next service.
