    Silicone gel watch case, theoretical invention of the week

    In the age of the ipod, why hasn't anyone invented a silicone gel skin cover for watches?



    Artist's impression, mainly using MS Paint and shaky hand syndrome:



    Gotta be worth a tenner


    ...............yes, I am off work sick.......................yes, I am bored!

    They probably have, but nobody in their right mind would ever buy or use one so why take the invention to market?

    There are silicone bezel protectors available, if you want to protect the rest of your watch you could always paint it with copydex............. and then have endless fun pulling it off (ooerr missus :lol: ).

    Have you booked your slot in the Dragons Den.

    Hardly a stylistic triumph but I can see where it might be useful in hazardous situations such as walking through a door :wink:

    I have seen pics of someone wearing a Rolex with a clear acrylic bezel protector on it - doesn't look good!

    I imagine it would feel horrible against your skin.

    From the heading, I thought you meant watch box, not case - a more sensible idea?

    What about glass protectors? They sell them for mobiles and they're pretty much invisible, especially the Martin Fields.

    I personally can't wear a watch once a scratch appears so I'd buy 'em!:-)
