does anyone else take of their watch when it gets hot and sweaty outside? I often do and place in the case and put in my pocket.

Thank you for any advice.

It's a service punch and when you send your watch to rsc they used to return it with one of these. Maybe some rsc still do.

Our rsc doesn't do this anymore
You can find them on Amazon

I've been traveling heavily for 30 years with substantial watches on my wrist. Have never been asked to take it off. ??

Oakley watch vault. A little bigger than Casebudi(I have both) and with the Oakley you can wrap your watch in a small polishing cloth as well for added cushioning.

You can find some service pouch (green ones) on Ebay, I would go that route unless you want to spend 100s on a travel pouch

Casebudi is the way to go.
Not expensive, great protection, great size and no chance for scratching

I got this nice double case recently from Amazon. It’s for my wife, she always just leaves her watch on top of the table and it was driving me crazy lol.
Its a nice double case, sturdy enough for travel , and a good place to hold our watches when not wearing them.
(Btw, I purposely cut off the divider so it can lay flat on our table)

This is better than the Casebudi, IMO, because it has that little "nipple" in the middle so the watch just doesn't slide around and possibly get scratched up.

I bought recently a Casebudi (small). Absolutely perfect, IMHO.

In the absence of an Oakley case, this is definitely the second best choice.

I think you’re looking for something like this:

It’s superb. Fast. Protects. You can toss it into your backpack or carryon.

Use these, they are great! I have a three watch one for travel and a couple of singles also.

The other alternative is to ask your ad for a shipping ‘coffin’. If it’s good enough for Rolex, well....

I personally use one of these. Flat enough to carry in my front pocket.

I agree with this! I have a shockcase that has the "nipple" in the middle, makes a big difference.

Same here. I’d end up using a watch case once, maybe, and then never use it again.
