I would like 3 sets of 2 right? 6 total.

These are wonderful. I need something just like this. I hate to remove a chain when watching a timepiece for acuracy, and I often mix up chains when I have to take the chains off. Although I like the plastic ones for keeping my watches off my desk, these will look wonderful, and keep the chains with the watch they belong to.

Will I be able to stain these?

Great find!

Sheila, Thank you, these are laser cut from 1/8" plywood, and can be sanded, stained, or what have you. Try to use a stain or finish that will not "argue" with the metal of the watch, or cut and stick in some felt pads.

E-mail me your address, and I will get them out to you right away.

Yep! that was my first thought, I don't want to use anything that can harm my watches, and thought maybe just using an oil would do the trick, but I'm not real sure of that either.

I'll figure it out.

I swear your brain and mine are connected! The FIRST thing I thought of was a felt like lining for the chain space, and even wondered if a small watch would fit in the back if I needed it, so natually, I thought of a felt or cloth for one to sit on.

Again, Great Item, Thanks!
