Recommendations for watch cases/rolls?
Quick post - been thinking of getting a watch case/roll for a little while now, as my desk and shelf are getting crowded. I quite like this one, but it’s AUD$268 - any recommendations for the ones you guys have?

Get a watch box or case. I find those zipper one's to get loose and the watches start to hang. (I also only spent 20 bucks so that's pretty much what I get.
Sooner or later I think I'm going to buy one like this to keep my favorite watches on display:
I really like the Mirage branded rolls. They come in 1 to 6 watches, different colors, and make taking them with me perfect. Great product for a reasonable price.
Second vote for Mirage for a budget roll. Those fold-flat cases are nice if you do not have watches with bracelets, otherwise, they will destroy your case and case backs. I usually keep mine in cases, but when travelling the Mirage roll comes in handy. Tip, favorite one on etsy and he will send you a discount code.
I received a pretty “cheap” watch box as a gift that has served me well. It’s from a brand called NEX and is available from Amazon. It doesn’t scream luxury or anything like that, but it’s practical and I have no complaints about it whatsoever.
I'm not a fan of those that flatten the watch. There are some bracelets that have tight tolerances and won't fold flat.
I'd get a box. There are plenty of options on Etsy, Amazon and eBay. Maybe look for one with a couple of extra slots and a drawer for spare straps.
Amazon is your friend… $30

I like the Q rolls.
Pelican case with foam inserts.
Go name brand, or off brand depending on budget. Still gonna get a functional, mostly rust resistant case that doesn't crush easily.
Plus it doesn't scream, "Hey, I have several Speedy's, a GMT, and a Datejust here ripe for the taking."

I’m not quite sure what I’d be looking for with Pelican, considering a lot of the cases are huge.

I'll link some in a bit, work is intruding on my Crunching....how dare these plebes get in the way....🫣😬🤘🏻😜 They make smaller ones and off brands on Amazon do to.
Nanuk comes to mind.

Some of those same companies also make variants for four or even two watches. Whether they are in stock or not, don't know.
If you are handy with an exacto, find a good ammo box, small pelican style case, fishing case, etc and make your own.
For travel I use a Prometheus Design Werx watch case. Once Haveston finally releases their ammo watch pouch I'll prolly pick one up too.
I use Everest watch rolls. They’re a little on the pricier end, but I’m not going to skimp on a roll after paying a decent amount on a watch. There are cheaper alternatives, mirage being one of them.
