Would love to see your holiday/vacation watches and travel cases.

I've been on WatchCrunch for like 1.5 years now but never posted a thread here. I'm going on a holiday next Saturday so It is time to post my travel case with watches. I, myself, wear comfortable clothes on holiday, so: why not my watches as well. Does anybody do this, changing strap for your holiday?

So here is my Rothwell travel case with the watches:

The other four:

- Top left: Seamaster Quartz from around 1979. Bought a nice soft leather strap for it. My granddad bought it for himself somewhere in the 80s. He passed away in 2010. The watch was stored for like 10 years in my parents house. When I started getting into watches, my mother told me she kept the watch and asked me: "Would you like to wear it?" The rest is history! It is a smaller watch and I got 7.5+ inch wrists, but sometimes you just want to wear a small gold watch. It is light and easy to wear.

- Top right: Seiko Samurai. I normally wear this on an Uncle Seiko bracelet. I plan on swimming on holiday so I changed it out for a colorful NATO.

- Bottom left: Bulova Lunar Pilot. It was on my list from the start. I got a great deal second hand so I bought it. I don't care about the moon connection. I bought it because my dog's nickname is "moonman". That is a way better reason to buy it! It is on a great paratrooper strap, so comfortable.

- Bottom right: Pulsar Accelerator Solar Quartz. My first "big boy" watch. I fumbled around with small casios before that. Just to test the water. I was shopping with my girlfriend in the city center and she asked me if I wanted to buy a "real" watch (whatever that means). So I entered a jewel-store, checked some watches out and tested some. I had no clue what I was doing and just bought the damn thing. Now it is part of my watch journey and I still like to wear it. This one is also on a paratrooper strap.

On the top:

- Zelos Hammerhead v3 in bronze with a grey tropic. So after buying the Pulsar, I was hooked. Then I saw my first bronze watch. I'd love the idea of something gaining patina that quick. So I did a fair amount of research and some saving and pulled the trigger on the Zelos. I have a lot of fun putting different patinas on it and sometimes cleaning it. It was cleaned from the patina around two weeks ago, the grey/bronze contrast is so cool.

Accessoires:

- Under the Zelos is a small compartment for a spring-bar tool.

- I also have two extra straps with me. Both paratrooper straps. The all-white one is actually a full lumed paratrooper strap. It is wild!

I would love to see your travel cases and what watches and straps you take on holiday!

Thank you very much. Here is a better picture!

I use this six watch roll, and absolutely anything could end up being taken. The leather is also useful as a soft surface if I'm changing straps. The only negative is where integrated bracelets don't lie flat, those I have to wear when travelling and then find somewhere soft in my accommodation.

Yeah I had the same problem as well for the top compartment. Some watches won't fold flat with their straps/bracelet. You don't want to force them in a weird position.

I use this - the dual version :
