I've got a large one, I love it and travel with it ALL the time! I also use a micro fiber cloth to wrap the watch before zipping the case shut. This way I've got a polish cloth as well!

Follow-up

This is a powerful forum..

So after I set TRF on fire with my earlier post, I returned to the store to see if there were any more left. I spoke with Ricardo - a nice guy - who said that they received several calls requesting to hold the vaults. He showed me 3 that he had on hold. Not being 100% convinced, I asked him to show me the "large" version to compare the two. They looked exactly the same.

Bottom line, I have no idea if I actually have the small version, or whether it was just mis-tagged (more likely the latter). Below is photo evidence of the transaction, for what it's worth. My 41mm DJ2 does fit snug, with only slight movement when closed, so who knows!

I just called Oakley, they said they only have 9 small in the inventory in the United States

I spoke to a salesman so I don't know how accurate his info is. They have plenty of the bigger ones though. I told them to order 40 if they could. Doesn't sound to promising.

Eric.. I've had that for a few months

Funny how until they stopped producing them we didn't know we didn't need it.

I've also found a few by calling random Oakley shops.

Good luck with the search!

Agreed. I own both and honestly feel the casebudi is the superior of the two. Not only that but when you have a case with the Oakley logo it may attract the would be thieves to take a closer look! Casebudi or bust! 👍

Have to agree...Just bought two small casebudi on amazon and they are perfect. Same as the oakley, which I have handled, sans the undesirable logo. No worries guys, just amazon prime the casbudi for less money. All this small vault nonsense is silly.

I have the Oakley large and then bought a small and regular CASEBUDi last December just to check them out.

In my opinion, the small CASEBUDi fits too snug on a GMT Master II in the way the case is designed. The snug fit isn't exactly what concerns me. It's how the zipper actually comes over the watch crystal and bezel when you zip it up. If you don't tug outwards or downwards with the zipper, you're going to most likely rub the back of the zipper against the watch.

While this probably won't really do much, there's always the chance that you could scratch or mar the bezel or case.

Here's what came in the mail










The small Oakley fits inside the Casibudi and you can zip up the Casebudi with the Oakley inside That's the difference in size

The small one fits the Sub perfect. Same perfect fit with the larger one & the DSSD.

I love my casebudi and it's a great value. I would support a small independent company like casebudi over OAKLEY and day.

+1. They are great travel cases, and a good value.

I'm glad Casebudi listened to what Oakley did not.
