Am I mistaken, or do the Carapaz and the Mirage work on the same system? There is always that option for $60ish dollars should you wish a cheap travel case.

I’ve been looking lately at maybe buying a nicer watch roll but call me crazy I just don’t want to spend the money on some of the really really nice ones.

The ones I have are just stashed away locked up. I don’t keep mine out in plain view so I can’t justify spending a lot. I’d much rather use that money towards a Rolex service or something else. Yes blast away.

But to all those who do more power to you.

My luxury roll is a LV roll. My budget roll is a Mirage Luxury Travel Roll for $60. The Mirage Luxury Travel has more function in comparison to the LV roll.

Same system, but Carapaz implements a second row of slits for display. It's a nice option for when friends come over and we talk watches over coffee/beer (depending on the time of day lol).

I also prefer the flexible cushion/insert over the standard pillow that many cheaper cases come with. Purely preference.

Everest, Carapaz and Mirage have the same system. I own three Everest rolls and one Mirage roll. The Everest build is significantly better. It appears the Everest & Carapaz are of equal quality.

Carapaz is top notch

I definitely should consider it. The ones I have the pillows are kinda blah. As in maybe a tad to big.

I'm not saying this is the best, but I have no regrets with my Everest leather watch roll. I cross shopped with Carapuz, which looks similar in quality, but I couldn't say no to the "Crown Green" colour from Everest. It's lovely and looks/feels like it could have been a genuine Rolex product.

I also have the Q which I purchased on Amazon…it’s leather and made very well. It’s not nearly as large as some of the others that I looked into, and it’s by far the best value at $128 (I didn’t get a discount unfortunately) when compared to some of the others at $350+. While I get it’s not the top of the line, I'm extremely happy value wise. Highly recommended.

Those look very nice

Do you mind sharing which one you bought and pricing? I’m considering a three watch roll.

I actually think I might prefer the snap method as opposed to the slide in and out partitions …

Thanks in advance.

Hey Brian, sorry to butt in but I have one of Aarons rolls as well. The quality is amazing but having both I do prefer the slide cushion system to the snaps if that helps you

Probably silly of me, but I don’t like the hexagonal shape. I picked mine for it’s nice clean aesthetics, and the price, of course.

Another vote for Mirage.

Love the colour and the quality is right where it should be (it’s actually very good) given it was £70 delivered from Amazon. Would happily buy another one.

Not sure if spending an extra £250+ on something that does exactly the same job is at all necessary or would help me enjoy my collection any better than this one does

Decided to go with Dailywatch Shop Travel Roll 3 slots. Made in Denmark with genuine leather for $174 free shipping. Half price compare to Everest and Carapaz but compatible build material and quality. I will update
when item receive.

I guess I am worried about the slides fraying after time ... how long have you had yours and how are they holding up?

As I stated above, I have the Mirage luxury roll. The suede is starting to fray. It’s about 6 months old. How old is yours?

Had mine three months but I'm always careful when using it. It's holding up well so far but I'll keep an eye on it.

I suppose it's inevitable that the areas that encounter daily action will show wear at some point. If you are anything like me I can use this roll multiple times a day and often have it sat beside me on the sofa in the evenings
