No this is how it comes from nalpak when you buy it from them

I've been known to wrap freshly cleaned watches in clingfilm before giving them the secure spongebox treatment. An alternative to throwing a cloth over them for you fellas.

Rolex's synthetic sapphire crystal has got to be about a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale. The foam padding in Pelican cases has to be less than 1 since it won't scratch a mineral with a hardness of 1. Unless you are throwing a handful of loose diamonds in the case before you shut it, I think your watches will be fine.

I lined mine with copper tape... thinking it might stop some stray magnetic fields into my watches. Also the interior of my case wasn't in great shape. After putting in the foam, doesn't have quite the same look, but I thought looked kinda cool.

Here’s mine.

Pelican cases are among the best. You can store anything from metals and jewelry to glass or art, so no need to worry about the foam scratching. To stop pressure, what you may want to consider is turning the watches face down and putting them on something smaller so that they close with clasp to a smaller diameter.

Congrats!

Hi guys!

I currently use a cheap watch box purchased on amazon and something is bothering me: The cushions are loose between the walls cause there is a gap on each side, they are not squeezed in-between.
I end up having my watches rolling around.

For those who have a Peli case with pre-cut cushions, is the cushion tight and blocked?

HORNBLOWER · 10 December 2019, 05:57 AM

I keep all mine in peli 1120s as they are the perfect size for my safe.

fsprow · 10 December 2019, 06:10 AM

Personally I store watches in old wool socks and put in my safe until use. I use a magic market to identify which watch is in each sock.

Use same system for expensive Hasselblad photo equipment.

No problems although I admit to not being a loupe user.

If you buy a Blancpain Fifty Fathoms, it come in a pelican case. Pretty cool.

Look into the Eleven 11 Peli case. It’s cut out with high density foam and there is absolutely no play at all.

That's quite a clever disguise, but I think Dewalt would also attract some thieves as Dewalt is easy to pawn. Maybe change that sticker to read "Human Specimen" or "Hazardous Materials." That will certainly repel all would-be thieves except for the ultra-freaky.
