I personally like rolls with dividers, my LV roll (a gift) doesn't have dividers and I wish it did.

This is the most stunning roll. Made in Italy. Pillows snap into place with magnets.

Just wanted to thank those that brought the Bosphurus rolls to my attention. I'll be placing an order soon for one.

Slightly different, but does anybody know any similar alternatives to the Everest Watch Portfolio? I'm looking for something just like it but only for straps and tools (not the pouches). I've emailed Bosphurus to see if they can make me one but yet to receive a reply.

Bosphorus or carapaz is a good recommendation for sure.

I have a relatively big wrist (8") and have found some cushions are quite small. Anyone with large wrists care to comment on a roll that they use that has cushions large enough to fill the gap of an 8" wrist please?

I bought this for a gift for Christmas last year the quality was really nice I surpassed my expectations honestly. I have a Black LV roll with wolf spacers and this mirage one seems stronger..

I am also interested in Carapaz, especially the newer version with the stand function. Does it have a flat bottom like Everest to keep it stable on the table? It's a little bit hard to tell from the picture. Thanks!

I think it's just because it's made of PU "Leather" which isn't real leather and doesn't last as long as real leather nor does it get the "patina" of real leather. I suppose if you're just using the roll in a purely utilitarian manner, PU is fine but some folks like to use watch rolls as storage for their watches so they then to spend the money for the nicer cases. I personally have both. I use my cheap PU cases for travel and consider them "disposable" once they get beat up enough and my nice ones for storage.

Does anyone use the watch roll as their permanent case or are there any negatives to taking this approach?

Also for those with the Wolf Blake 3 watch holder roll, how snug is your watch? Is the roll hard or very soft? I have a 7" wrist and worry that it will be too tight.

I do for an accessibility standpoint. Not a fan of watch winders and it's a pain to keep each piece in their respective presentation box.

To the main topic, big fan of Bosphorus rolls here as well.

After doing a lot of research on watch rolls, priced from $10 to $1500, I chose to purchase through Carapaz. The entire experience was perfect.

- Easy payment system, immediate receipt and follow up thank you email from Felix.
- With the challenges of COVID and delayed postage, Felix did everything he could to get it to me quickly from Switzerland to Australia.
- The product is extremely good quality and relatively inexpensive compared to others.
- Check out their website - user friendly, with clear product info and images.
- After purchasing a second one, but then realising it wasn't suitable for my second watch, Felix made the refund hassle free.
- The communication and product knowledge from Felix is outstanding. His own passion for the watch industry ensures a great buyer experience.

I also have a Carapaz currently in the post from Switzerland. It was shipped within hours of my order. I went for the 4 watch roll, not for traveling for me, more for display and a place to store them.

Free shipping and a quick coupon google search got me 10% off too.

Too much choice ITT. Would be good to see a vote/poll, seems everyone has a different opinion and there is no runaway leader in the watch roll game.
