Not sure if this has been discussed before, but thought I'd share.

Just received a CaseBudi watch case and on first impressions, it looks like the perfect travel case for when taking more than one watch along (naturally).

Very strong construction, semi-hard (stop sniggering at the back there!) case, which offers good protection. There is a dimple in the centre of the case that prevents the watch meeting the strap, so looks after your case back too. A few pictures to give you an idea:









Well worth the £10.90 from Amazon!

Mine prefers the term 'gentleman's gentleman'.

Nice case actually; I tend to stick them in a sunglasses case (or a watch service box) usually, same effect but obviously slightly less secure.

Do they do long ones rather than round ones (if you take my meaning)..?

well Mr Yeti as you often are ....correct......but I thought that "gentleman's gentleman" was a little high brow for this forum smile

A quick amazon search says no. it is just this one type they do, and some earphone cases as well.
Very happy with the purchase and it looks like a perfect sized case that offers good protection for my watch when travelling/storage.

If I take a spare watch along I just stick it in a rolled up sock. Tends to be a bit cheesey on the return journey though, but , hey, I've got an extra tenner to spend on coke and hookers!

thanks for the info, case looks great. I bought a similar one by another brand on amazon last year but they sold out quickly before I could get a second. Will buy ones of yours now.

I found this style of case great particularly for watches on rubber straps. The flat sunglass type cases don't work so well as the rubber straps don't flatten enough. With these round ones the strap can stay in it's natural curved position perfectly. My citizen aqualand classic sits in it perfectly despite the dive sensor making the case very wide.

Did yours come with extra foam inserts to ensure a snug fit? My one did but it's not a deal breaker if this case doesn't.

No foam inserts unfortunately.

I have put a couple of microfibre screen cleaning cloths to use. One in the centre and one on top of the watch, when in the case.

They stop the watch from moving about and double up as cleaning cloths as well.

I must admit I use the Breitling cases you can get off ebay for a few quid - they make life a lot easier.

For single watches I keep the watch strapped on its box cushion and then stuff it in a single sock, not particularly elegant but does the trick, for 11 squid that does look quite handy though.

If I'm taking 2 watches (plus 1 on the wrist) then I'll use the banda style case that comes with all Timefactors watches. Brilliant little things, they are.

Surely, when travelling, you take a case that holds at least three watches - with one inside - to allow for two purchases on your trip and no customs interference on the way back.

Clearly it is necessary to be very careful and that they are well protected
