$24 Pelican Case makes a great travel vault (Pics)

I picked up a Pelican 1120 case from Academy yesterday and made an inexpensive bulletproof watch travel case. My Sub is not in the picture because it was on my wrist. Where it is supposed to be.

Could not agree more on the wrist so why a case.

I'm new to Rolex ownership and am concerned about the watch when i travel on a plane. This will allow me to store the watch (and others) safely in my carry on until i get through security. Plus i needed a project today. These Pelicans are awesome.

Please keep the subject of guns off forum but I used to have a similar case but larger for my underwater camera and lighting gear.But with the o-ring seal on a plane you might have a problem to open it when you return to normal air pressure my case had a valve on it.

I have a couple: one for travelling with my watches, and another for my dive computers and compass. Great aren't they!
