Has anyone found a decent travel case for watches?

I'm having a sample in leather especially made in my own brand to sell commercially. Should arrive in the next few days but real leather isn't that cheap

Just to add that travel cases where the watch lies flat as in the link above aren't ideal for anything on a rubber strap in my opinion.

My order for 2 Paul & Shark polos never arrived so opened a dispute and was settled within 24 hours. The seller put up a tracking number that didn't work. Guess he was trying to scam me. Would have preferred the goods rather than the refund.

Sometimes they do put a fake tracking because the shipping is too cheap to be sent with tracking. I've got many parcels like that.
And who knows maybe one day you will get them! how long have you been waiting?

I don't travel with more than two apart from what I wear for the journey and I have found the roll type to be the best to accommodate metal band and leather mix.

My roll for three is getting a bit tatty so I have been looking at these ones and a few in single box type.

Roll type:

Box type:

The carbon fibre look ones appear tough enough for a well packed case, I might order one and see.

Yeah i agree that the roll type is better for travel. Carbon fibre looks really neat. No free shipping on these though. I might just go for ems just because its a little more than registered and registered is notoriously slow.

I found an actual watch shop in singapore selling the carbon fibre one at a lower price than aliexpress! I'm a little surprised

Not been waiting that long actually. Maybe 3 weeks. Thing is he didn't answer my messages nor put up a defence against the dispute about the tracking so it was settled in 24 hours in my favour instead of the 3 days Ali quote. All a bit strange but it would nice if they turned up.

The blade itself? Mineral oil that you can buy for a couple of bucks at the grocery store. It provides corrosion resistance and is food safe. For pivot points I go with a PTFE-based grease like what I'd use for metal-on-metal contact, like the moving parts of a gun, but CLP or something similar works as well.

I use gun oil on my knives. Rem-oil. I buy it online for a couple bucks.

The Von Zipper's are cool. Fit great, nice metal hinges, comes with the cleaning bag. These are made to be sport glasses so it feels like cheap plastic but even the gens feel like cheap plastic. Overall, I'm happy with this purchase. A+

The Oakley's I'm not sure about. I haven't handled gens so I don't know how close to real they are. There's the one shot of the hinge from above and it almost looks like the front and the arm don't line up. Is it like that on the gens? Can't give a score.

Both from the same seller. Ordered July 1st, Received July 15t to Toronto Canada.

So I received my MB pen. Cost about $12. Overall quality is good, but printing on its case is bad.

And also Paul&Shark polo. Unfortunately it's not 100% cotton (only 80%), but in description it was 100% cotton. Quality is good, but for 22 bucks... I can get better. Also it has some minor flaws

Got a couple more items in the past few days, and am expecting one more later this week. First thing is another Montblanc pen, a resin Starwalker rollerball. I bought a lot of three of them to use as semi-disposable pens (i.e. if someone takes one, I couldn't care less). These are lighter than the metal Starwalkers, which is to be expected with them being resin, but the build quality is in line with the other reps I have ordered. Here's the link to the lot of three I ordered - not sure if you can get them individually:

And pics:








The second item I got was a rep Hermes Constance belt. It's a decent belt for the price ($50), real leather (on par with a gen Coach reversible I have), but the buckle isn't quite as good as another rep one I have, as the engravings are not as sharp. It does come with full box and papers - the packaging is on par with any other rep. If you want to try out a Hermes belt and don't want to pay for one from a TD but also don't want one that is complete garbage, this may be a good option for you. Here's the link:
