So I see. What didn't you like about them? They look like they would protect the watch at least as much as the Oakley.

I bought both of the Heiden ones from Amazon and ended up keeping only one. Returned the cylindrical one since the pillow inside is too small and the watch would flop around too much. The oval one is a little better since it's smaller and more compact (that's the one I kept).
As for the Oakley, I bought it a couple of years ago directly from Oakley's web site (when I first caught the watch collecting bug lol). Works great, fit most watches without any issue but like someone said, it's still a fairly soft case. I mostly use it when for traveling (when taking the watch off to go through the scanner at airports) or when I bring another watch along on a trip. |

The Oakley's seem to be out of stock everywhere again. But that oval one looks pretty nice. And then there's Casebudi but from what I understand they run a little big. Don't know whether to wait on the possibility of the Oakley's coming back or pick up one of the others.

I would just buy the large ones they have on Amazon before they stop making them (the CASEBUDi one is also a good alternative). The large Oakley case isn't really that big and will fit most watches just fine.

If I get the Casebudi, it would be the small one or larger one?

For the BB I'd get the small one.

Thanks guys. I'll most likely go with the small one. Any problem and I'll exchange it. Amazon's good with returns.

I was able to find some new old stock w/ tags Oakley small cases. They weren't cheap but I bought all the place had left stock. If anyone's interested PM me.

Just an update here. I ordered the CaseBudi small vault for my Black Bay and it wasn't even close to being the right size for that watch...way too small. I'll keep it though because it fits a smaller watch that I own perfectly and I'll order the large one for the Black Bay. I'll update again when received.

I ordered two watch vaults from here about two weeks ago
http://www.athleteshop.com/soft-cases-black They were just over 15 GBP - no connection to the store just a happy customer. On eBay they were selling for £45! Most of those seemed to be being sold in the USA |

If it's the same size as the Oakley vault, then you shouldn't have any issue fitting the BB. |

My apologies...I stand corrected. When I placed the watch in the case there was about a 1/4 inch gap so I didn't even attempt to zip it closed. Based on the post by redsubby I tried it again and am happy to say that it does fit. Apparently there is some give in the zipper which allows it to close completely. Thanks for the correction.
