Watch case for storage and travel

Hey Friends, What is a good case to store your Rolex at home? I am looking to buy something I can use for storage and travel. There is a plethora of stuff on Amazon, and I'm unsure what to get. Thank you very much for your help!

I like to use a Breitling service case, it's closed by zipper and the watch is protected by pelican foam. They pop up on eBay from time to time.

for travel I use this - watchpod with a little extra foam (blue) added to snug it in there. I think under $25 on amazon

Watch case for storage and travel

I like the mirage branded ones on Amazon. They have the slide out pillows, dividers, and nothing touches the watch. I have them in 2-3 size cases in the Rolex green color. I used to use the watch pods. They are fine too but I fumble with them a bit vs the slide out.

Bosphorus Leather makes very nice watch rolls in various sizes.

https://www.bosphorusleather.com/col...ata-watch-roll

I have a 3 watch roll (Montana) and a 4 watch roll (Ostrich). Any roll/case from Amazon will do the trick as well, but if you want to step up the quality, these are great :)

Extra slim for easily fitting 3 watches in/out of the safe.





(Langeberkeley.com)

For travel I try to just bring a single piece that doesn't leave the wrist. I don't trust hotel safe's. I'm sure in 98% cases it's fine, but why risk the annoyance of those last 2% where it goes missing.

For Rolex these are the best. Slim and very protective. Easily concealed.

+1 on Watchpod. They make a single, double, and triple.

I use mine for travel and storage. Easiest and most efficient solution imo.

Bought mine on Amazon here, but they also have an official website.

Another EBAY purchase. $15

While traveling, I worry about EXACTLY where I have placed this storage case. I never place it in a checked bag, only in carry-on. It’s easy to get distracted while traveling so I limit myself to one watch on my wrist and one I bring with.

This is the only Peli case you’ll ever need for a watch, small easy to carry, can be hidden anywhere easily, will fit in the smallest back vault box.

I’m with you. Life’s too short for one travel watch

I have traditionally used an Oakley single zippered watch case, but I don't think they make them any longer and Amazon has a million knock-offs of that design.

I recently purchased a 3 watch case from Delugs

https://delugs.com/collections/prism

I am really happy with it so far. Free shipping from Singapore, seems like a small operation.. They also just released a single zip case (Bagel) that looks high quality, too, if you don't want to gamble on the Amazon route.

Some here will say it’s too “pedestrian” but I’m actually quite happy with the build quality against the price point of these Q watch rolls. Bought mine off their Amazon store. The interior is very soft and since they aren’t completely round they hold themselves up on a nightstand while traveling instead of rolling off.

Just picked up a couple of the watchpod style cases from amazon UK which arrived today: www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BLTW68QL

They were bought for some other low value watches in my collection but found the Sub is a great snug fit and well protected so decided to use it for that for now. Obviously not as 'luxury' as a nice leather watch roll but practical and a great option when you don't want to draw attention and just throw your watch in a bag or drawer. Really impressed for a fiver.

For carrying one watch, the service case Rolex returns your watch in is a compact option.

Watch case for storage and travel

For a single watch, I use an awesome Tudor branded single watch case a friend gifted me (Thanks Brice!), and for up to three I use a Wolf Heritage case…

Those little green inserts go between the back of the watch and the clasp, for this reason. You can see how the bracelet wraps around on the left Daytona.

The best and most reasonably secure option is a pelican case. Personally, I got an 1120, some watch pillows off Amazon, and cut out some inserts to place them in.

You can easily hide an AirTag in there, and your stuff is secure with the ability to lock it on both sides.

I didn't noticed it when I first saw it. Makes sense to have the inserts in between. Very nice piece.

I have two for travel - not that I travel too much - but I got the triple watchpod and I also have the Mirage travel case. I was quite pleased with the Mirage and that's what I carried my Rolexes in during my last bit of travel. I just thought it was a better option than the watchpod. But I wouldn't hesitate to use either option.

These are extremely handy. Only travel case I know that has a "display" angle:

I also use these Q watch rolls. They make a single, double, triple and 6 pack and are reasonably priced on Amazon (I always pick them up on cyber Monday at a discount as well). Here is a pic of my thee and six watch roll which I use for storing watches in my safe.

I love that they have a soft place to put your watch when you take it off and are hexagonal shaped so they can't roll off a counter. They are a little bulky for travel, but they just came out with this travel case I may try.
