I’m looking for a nice knife and watch valet tray. What does everyone use? I won’t mention where this one is being sold to avoid deal spotting, but this is very similar to what I would be looking for.

I use an old cheap Avon one.

My watch stays on me though, so just my wallet, phone, that weeks knife/s, my Leatherman, and my belt pouch goes on it.

Edit: looking at the pictures you posted I don't think the thing I use counts.
What I use goes on my night stand and is to hold the stuff that comes out of my pockets each night.
Not exactly for holding multiple knives and watches , plus pocket dump stuff.

This is awesome!!!^^^ what brand is it? I have got to have one!
 
I thought, a 'valet tray' was something, which held the contents of your pockets over night i.e. where I dump keys, card holder, phone, flashlight and Leatherman Raptor (or knife when carried) - and not storage containers like the one in the OP.

Nothing against them - just not what I think of, when I hear/read 'valet tray.'

I thought the notion of a fu-fu tray silly ...., until I tired of chasing the above mentioned items and made a leather tray.

Happy as a clam with it.

Again, very simple though - strictly KISS.

Nice but not for me. Too organized :)
I have a 8x8 (appx) leather tray w/side walls bought here that works for me. But I also don't have the rotation you do.
 
I use a montecristo cigar box, its tray inner tray is slotted and things fit nicely
 
I pile my stuff in a wood bowl like this one, on my side table

That converted watch box looks interesting. I have one with my watches in it, but as I downsize my watch collection I might eventually want to convert it.

Right now I have my watches in the watch box,, hidden away. I have my EDC knives in a drawer kept in the slots of a small plastic tackle box.

I need a new valet tray. I'm not classy enough for a fancy one, I could use the bottom of a cardboard box for that matter. I had a fairly nice valet tray but over time it filled with misc. stuff so I moved it elsewhere and now I need a new one. Or here's an idea- get a cardboard box to put the junk in and empty the valet tray so I can use it.

Right now when I get home I put my phone, light, knife, etc. on the edge of my work table but there is so much other stuff there that the next morning I can miss a few things when I load my pockets again. A valet tray would actually be useful to me for that reason, as long as I can keep it from getting cluttered.
 
I'm still trying to get used to the idea of a valet tray. I was unaware of this concept until just a few months ago, when I still thought thought a valet was a car attendant.
