Nespresso capsules box conversion into a Panerai watch box

Post by dj57 »

As I mentioned/presented the other day in the “what are you working on now?“ thread, I bought a wooden Nespresso capsules box and wanted to convert it into a Panerai watch box.

Parts I bought are:
- Panerai plate from Athaya
- 2x screws for the plate
- felt sheets
- EPDM cellular rubber sealing mat self-adhesive foam rubber
- I also used an old leather strap incl. buckle
- I also had a small Panerai box which I got as a present with a Panerai passport when I visited Panerai in Florence

Let the pictures speak for themselves:

I have no idea if such small magnets can cause trouble,
but since it's a storage box, I'd prefer to stay safe...
