Carapaz Watch Roll
I just received this and thought I would share some pictures and my initial impression. I was looking for a better storage solution than my current drawer setup and was debating between an actual watch box or a watch roll. My collection only sits at 3 watches at the moment and the only thing on my radar for now is a submariner which would make it 4 total, but that includes a square g shock which doesn't really need a slot as I am fine just tossing it in the drawer. I decided on a 3 slot watch roll as I liked the portability of it over a watch box and can easily toss it in a bag or in the safe.
I had eyed those cheaper mirage brand watch rolls that are on amazon and seem to be popular with the watch youtubers (paid endorsements of course) but after doing some research I decided I wanted to spend some more and get something really nice. I narrowed it down between Carapaz and Everest which look to be pretty close in the style/functionality and quality. The Carapaz was a little cheaper and I liked the look of it a little more so that is what I went with. It took about a week to be delivered from Switzerland and the packaging/presentation was very nice. Overall, the quality seems to be outstanding, very good fit and finish and the watch pillows fit nice and snug in the slots with no play or wiggle. The Carapaz also has an additional slot that lets you see the watches a little more or "present them" I also really like the style of pillow they use. I have a 7.5" wrist and my watches fit on there perfectly. Smaller wrists shouldn't have a problem as you can squeeze this style of pillow to fit without putting too much pressure on the bracelet Overall, it is really nice and I am happy with the purchase. Is it worth the extra money over the cheaper options out there? Eh, probably not...but I have no regrets and I think this will hold up well over the years. It also comes with a sleeve/pouch for travel |

Good choice. Carapaz makes a great mid range roll. The stand up feature is excellent.
