    I've been keeping my eye out for one of these travel pouches that can keep 4 watches. I found one that I absolutely love, made by discommon goods

    http://www.discommon.com/goods/the-watch-roll-tech-black

    The only problem? It's $300. Though seemingly outrageous, I am starting to inch closer and closer to buying one. I really hope to not spend this kind of money on a travel roll, so I am looking for some other suggestions

    Some of the features I really like (in the order of importance)
    1. It alternates in watch orientation - e.g. buckle-watch-buckle-watch.
    2. It locks securely.
    2. It's padded so slightly shock resistant
    3. It's slightly water resistant

    Are there any recommendations that's more affordable?

    Thank you!

    I bought two from curiosupply.com, the owner is a member on this site. They are leather and hand stitched. They were the nicest ones I found when I was looking.

    I have never been a fan of watch rolls. They look good in photos, but for me, there are much better options for both regular storage and transport.

    YMMV.

    Do you put that in your bag at all? How well made is the opening flap? With my luck I'm too afraid it would get pushed in and damaged.

    I haven't had it long enough to do any actual travel with it yet. It feels sturdy enough though and I'd only ever have it in carry-on anyway

    I have said it before, I will say it again, a cable wrap is perfect.

    If you travel a lot and swap hotels and stuff, maybe try going for a box that doesn't say "OPEN ME! EXPENSIVE WATCH INSIDE!".

    Just my honest opinion. Go for something less conspicuous.

    Ha! I just realized this came through on the Omega forum and not WUS. I normally hang over there since I sold my Omega.

    Anywho, for a weekend trip where I am probably taking one watch but straps options, I like to use my cable wrap roll. If I were taking more than one watch I might adjust. So it just depends on what you're going for.
