    Inexpensive Watch Travel Case?

    Can anybody recommend an inexpensive travel case...either individual or for multiple watches?

    I previously bought "Casebudi" cases from Amazon which were ideal, but it appears you can't get hold of them any more on amazon or ebay.

    Watch service cases from the major manufacturers are good. I have 6 Omega ones that I got from a friendly Jeweller.

    May be available on eBay?

    Individual - roll watch into ball of socks
    Multiple - use more socks

    You did say inexpensive

    I was thinking about that one too, but most of my watches are on bracelets, so that flat-pack style case I think wouldn't fit them.

    I got this instead:



    Not exactly inexpensive, but well-priced for what it is - looks and feels well-made, and it has a good slab of padding right over the watch face where you need it. The only thing I don't like is that the tube the watches fasten around is quite small compared to my wrist, so they're a bit loose. However, when you roll and buckle the thing up, it fastens tight, so they won't move around and bang into each other. Good kit.

    I've seen a lot of people use those roll-out ones. The kind that look like the sort of thing creepy bastards carry their selection of knives in (e.g. Dexter, or Soap in Lock Stock).

    where can you get a decent one of them?

    For two watches this is a lovely bit of kit which punches well above it's price point (under £20); the leather watch pouch from Time Taveller:

    I've been after one like that for a good price. I think that's what he's talking about too.

    Edit: More like this on the outside:

    I have a lovely handmade leather roll from Decamp Goods in the USA for when I travel.




    These are his photos of my roll, I have a sleeping child on my shoulder so can't photograph it right now.

    You try taking a photo with an iPad in that position, making sure your watch is in shot :-)

    I bought this recently.. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1513273892...234%26_rdc%3D1

    Its bloody great! At the minute they have a couple of leather ones but i'd keep an eye on them or message them if you prefer fabric, communication is very good. No issues with delivery either.

    Nice one, i have been looking at watch rolls for ages, seeing several places doing them but they are £100+!

    I even gathered the material to make my own but i've not got round to doing it.

    Not really great for travelling, but I store my watches in iphone socks.
    Generic ones work out about 50p each!

    You can preorder the oakley watch vaults, they are supposed to be slightly better than the casebudi ones. I ordered one last week to compare. I will have a look through my emails and find out where from.

    This is a very nice and unique case for four watches! Very nice, indeed.

    Please do post a tutorial about this nice work of yours when you have time.
