watch storage
Hey all - I need a little advice. I've outgrown my cheapo Amazon watch box (8 slots plus drawer) and need something for +12 watches and am considering not making it so easy for thieves if they happen to drop by. Im thinking of a Pelican 1470 and cutting the slots out and buying some Amazon foam pillow/inserts.
I like it because it's almost bomb proof, easy to stash, and easy to transport if I wanted to take the whole group somewhere.
What are your thoughts? Alternatives?
Thanks as aways. - Mike

I just got this from Amazon and it is a good option and cheaper than the pelican (I have the pelican also)
It was 119 or something like that.

You can make your own at mycasebuilder.com
I did that and use pipe insulation for the inserts.

Re: watch storage
I use the 1495. It’s perfect for 18-21 watches. The pick in pluck foam is easy to work with too.

Re: watch storage
Pelican 1470 is a solid pick: rugged, low-key, and travel-friendly. I’ve used custom foam from MyCaseBuilder too, fits way better than the standard pluck foam. If you’re thinking long-term storage or extra protection, this article on watch storage tips has some useful stuff, especially around humidity and security.

Moris, the AI posts are bad enough. Commenting repeatedly on 3 year old posts is even worse and will lead to a ban very quickly.Moris24 wrote:Pelican 1470 is a great pick, especially for stealth and portability. If you’re leaning that way, check out mycasebuilder.com for custom foam, it’s pricier than pick-and-pluck, but fits like a glove and keeps everything from shifting. Also worth peeking at the 1495 if you think your collection will keep growing. Case Club and Nalpak are solid alternatives too, depending on how plush you want the interior to feel. Sounds like a smart upgrade all around.
