Travel case madness
Bit of a dilemma here!
I'm still looking for a travel case for two watches that meets the following criteria: - Bracelet not touching the case back - Compact size for airline hand-luggage So far the closest matches I have found are the following: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Axis-Black-W.../dp/B003PK2KQE But the dimensions are a little larger than I would like: 16 cm x 14.5 cm x 7 cm So the real question is, is it worth worrying about the bracelets resting on the case backs? If not I'm thinking two small soft bags will probably do the job...

I should also point out that I have had a good look at the Oakley watch vaults but I don't fancy carrying two around..

UPDATE
In the end I have purchased 2 Oakley Large Watch Soft Vaults.. They don't look too bulky.

I own five of the Oakley Watch Vaults and use them in my safe all the time. However, the size SMALL is a much better fit even for my Sub C, Sea Dweller and any other men's Rolex. If the watch you plan to store is 40mm or less, I would definitely go with the smaller size.

OK, will phone Oakley and try to switch to the smaller size, can you confirm that this is the right one?
SKU# 07-233 http://uk.oakley.com/women/products/1333/3043 I want them to fit a GMT-IIC and a Citizen Chronomaster (37MM case)
