b-uhr Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 The Pelican case 1120- $30 Interior Dimensions ( L x W x D ) 7.25" x 4.75" x 3.08" ( 18.4 x 12.1 x 7.8 cm ) Exterior Dimensions ( L x W x D ) 8.12" x 6.56" x 3.56" ( 20.6 x 16.7 x 9 cm ) colors: Black, Yellow, Desert Tan, Silver, Orange, OD Green, Blue case features - Polymer o- ring in lid that provides a watertight seal - Automatic Purge Valve: one way membrane that releases air pressure but keeps moisture out. i got one of the smaller ones since my main purpose for this if for traveling like bringing extra watches for vacation or GTG's on an estimate i think it should fit at least 3 watches! one 60mm and probably two more 47mm one's hmmm what could it be? for its price you can't really go wrong in getting one. there are bigger one's it really depends on how many watches you want to store in the case.anyway i'll let the pictures talk for itself.

BGGodwin Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 I never thought of a Pelican case. I bought something on ebay and it's not the best product... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted April 17, 2011 Report Share Posted April 17, 2011 Actually someone else did this a very long time ago, it's a great idea for traveling as you know your watches will be safe from any rough handling. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExtraExtra Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 The military love these cases for storing and shipping their rifles, laptops, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
permabull Posted April 18, 2011 Report Share Posted April 18, 2011 Yes seen some other watch fanatics using these - the bigger ones are great to store more than 6 watches, great protection with all that foam inside and the hard plastic shell. Fairly cheap as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEKS Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 As someone who had a $14k thermographic camera stolen a few years back, I have one warning re these cases. Yes, they are great physical protection, yes they are waterproof, lockable, etc... But they always scream, "something expensive is inside. Please steal me". Just a thought on what otherwise is a smart choice for anything requiring protection. PS thief was most likely a baggage ground crew person at the airport where it went missing.

jchurch Posted May 2, 2011 Report Share Posted May 2, 2011 I second what JEKS said... I haven't had mine stolen but I know others who have had theirs taken. In the city I use a backpack for my photography gear (use foam inserts in it for keeping your stuff safe). But those Pelican cases are great. I have three but none for watches. Interesting use though I think I might pick up one and use it. I need another watch case and holder anyhow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JEKS Posted May 3, 2011 Report Share Posted May 3, 2011 OK, so I put them down a bit based on a bad experience. I will say, there are alternatives which may be better in scertain circumstances. I found Hardigg's Stormcase line worked well and took a beating better than the Pelican's we used based on the softer plastic. The Peil's cracked, the Storms gouged. They both protected gear, but the Storms failed in safer way. Regardless, Pelican purchased Hardigg a few years ago, and they now call them the Pelican Storm line and they are good stuff.
