Travel case for Nautilus 5711

Hi. I am thinking of getting a case for my 5711.

The first that comes to mind is the Casebudi. What size do you guys recommend for the 5711? Small or Medium?

Folks over at the Rolex forum say that the small is good for the Subs.

Thanks in advance.

phase de lune... dont put a Patek in anything less.

Truthfully it offers excellent protection and it keeps watches separate if you travel with more than one. For an even more hard case B&Z traveler 1& 2 are excellent as well. Dont fit large watches very well but a Patek is perfect.

I dont want cases with zippers anywhere near my watches as its just asking for scratches putting it in or taking it out.

You can get a PP watch case for traveling. I've gotten 2 x 1 watch so far. Requested a 4 x Patek Watch Roll for free from them when I go pick up my allocated pieces for 2019.

Casebudi soft watch case

I use these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016APKU1M..._.z4fCbS7D8HQM

They are easy to carry and offer great protection.Unique design keeps your watch band from touching the back of your watch. Insert your watch and snap the center together.

Thanks for the recommendation. These things look good.

The casebudis are fine, put mine in them all the time and no scratches so far.

I have my AP 44 in a large so I assume my PPs are in the medium, also takes my Subc.

They are ok. But I’m looking for sth with a bit more cushioning.

I highly recommend Carapaz. Nice quality leather and cushion can accommodate large and small wrists.

Everest makes a great watch case for one and watch rolls that hold 2-4 watches. They are fantastic quality.

Depending on where you get your watch serviced, you can expect it to come with one of these. However it’s also available on eBay and the likes:

https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-authent...9269141?_ul=AU

As an alternative to the phase de lune, this case from HODINKEE is similar and the leather has a nice textured finish:

Hodinkee cases are ok quality and are pricey.

The phase de lune are not as convenient as Carapaz because you have to line the snaps and it’s a pain if you have more than one watch.

Carapaz is excellent quality, no snaps (cushion slides in and out) and are very nicely priced.

I'm an Oakley "Vault" fan. They're hard to find now, not sure they make them anymore , but if you can find them, they're great.

The Patek supplied travel case is my favourite (not the service case.)

Phase de Lune makes solid cases. I have the 3 watch roll and it is impeccably made. Secure, elegant and made using high quality leather. Well worth the price!

The Patek cushion travel case is your best option. I have one. Not sure where I got it.

Thanks Tyler! Is Phase de Lune available locally in the US?
