I have a LV roll as well but don't like it as there are no dividers to separate the watches. You say you have "wolf spacers" can you elaborate on this.

Thanks.

LOL, What a laughable comment!

I also put my AP RO 15500OR rose gold bracelet in that watch roll.

I'd recommend the IFL Watches rolls, really nice quality.

I just wanted something for travel, not for show or storage. So, I went with a "Case Elegance" roll from Amazon for €20. Works great for what I need.

I also have the LV roll. It looks nice but definitely not worth the price compared to other options. I think it's best viewed as a 2 piece roll just because you don't have spacers and with only 2 you don't have to worry about the pieces banging together.

Phase De Lune watch cases. The quality of the leather is great, and I like that the cushion can be compressed easily and stay in shape. Great for watches with straps / bracelets that are set for smaller wrists like mine.

For those who have the Bosphorus Leather rolls, how are the cushions? Do they compress pretty easily or are they stiff? Wonder if they’re malleable enough for smaller wrists?

Interesting that no one went with ABP. I've only purchased straps from them, but they're top notch.

Got my carapaz roll in today. Impressed with the quality and the rolls compress to fit my watches. Wrist size is just a bit above 6.5 so I was concerned about that size I have to order the smaller rolls for my wolf winder.

Love how Carapaz design the side cut in to slide in the watch sponge to raise the watch for better view

Love that feature. Everything fits so perfect in this roll and the build quality is awesome. Got to me in less than a week from Switzerland.

Very nice. And awesome watches too. Been meaning to order a Carapaz two watch roll for traveling.

Curious, did you cross shop with the Everest? If so, any reason you went Carapaz over Everest?

Looks like this has already been shared but for the price cannot be beat. It is not real leather, which is probably why it is cheaper than most of the others, but given how often I use it it cannot be beat.

I purchased the Everest 3 watch version and I don't love it. Quality should be higher for the price IMO.

Also have a hodinkee leather roll, quality is great but pouches are too small for some of my larger watches. Perfect if you have a collection of sub 42mm pieces though.

I have two Carapaz rolls and I can confirm that the quality is great.
The slide in and stand options are fantastic.

I did cross shop Everest. I found they looked very similar but I don’t think Everest has the slit on top to stand the watches up. Everest was also more price wise and the reviews on here for Carapaz ultimately made me choose them.

I purchased this 4-slot Bosphorus case in August and received it about 3 weeks later. It's a handsome case for sure. I would say that the individual cushions are 'somewhat' malleable, (in the center, not at the edges), but not that much. It's not a problem for me because with 7.5" wrists, and having a preference for a slightly looser fit, I have an extra link added to every one of my non-glidelock watches at the time of purchase by my AD. So, absolutely no fitment issues around the Bosphorus cushions. I think you could simply open the clasp, then place the watch around the cushion, and then close the clasp and you'd be fine.

I am also looking at that Mirage roll from Amazon. Looks really good for the price.

Legit question - is there anything wrong with using the green Rolex presentation box as daily storage for a single watch? I plan to expand my collection, but until then am I causing damage to the box by using it? I have always officed from home, so I am not wearing my watch every day. Once I have more watches in my collection I'll have need for more storage, but until then the green box seems like a nice way to keep it on my nightstand.

I have no idea where I saw this, but years ago I saw an amazing vintage trunk/watch box that a strap maker made for vintage Rolexes. He took an antique, small trunk-style box from an antique store and then distressed it and added a vintage Rolex brass coronet with patina rom a ratty tatty vintage box he found. He added leather and other cool embellishments and he created individual storage compartments with pillows inside for watches and straps, tools, etc.

This thing was absolutely gorgeous when he was done with it. He showed it off with his personal vintage collection of a 6542, 1675, 5513 and 5512, a bubble back and then some of his beautiful straps inside. I wish I could find this again because it was a work of art.

When my watches are not in the safe or on my wrist, as when I take a couple of them traveling, I want them to be as inconspicuous as possible, certainly not in an attractive leather case. I have pair of heavy wool socks I keep them in - never a problem, no one wants my old socks.
