Just curious what are your methods of taking mulitple watches with you. I see some drawbacks with the roll and box. For the roll potential scratching due to the metro bracelet constantly rubbing. For the box the size. Just wanted to know which option should I choose. I need two-three slots for a watch during my trip
I have taken up to five watches with me while on travel (one on the wrist) and the others stay close to me in my carry on, in cases like this one--these are simple and sturdy enough to protect the goodies...ebay sourced a few years ago.
Do the back of the case and watch strap touch when you use this case? That's my biggest concern when traveling with watches
I use an Oakley Watch Vault that has worked wonders for me. However, it definitely isn't as fancy as the leather carriers and such that others prefer. Sadly, it looks like it's no longer available on Amazon, but here's a close alternative.
I have used one of those see through plastic travel zip bags and put them in my carry on bag. That worked fine. Now I have some leather watch rolls and they work fine too. I don't tend to worry about a few scratches here or there. The watch rolls are small and compact and the watches don't move about so not noticed any scratches due to travelling.
Sorry to interrupt, but I have a question too: do travellers have any problem carrying multiple watches with them in a case through the airport? Would security ask or assume you are a seller who hasn't declared the products?
All you need to do is insert something inside the bracelet such that it rests between the case back and bracelet; a folded piece of paper works fine.

I usually travel with just one watch, my TAG Heuer Aquaracer. On the rare occasion in which I have to bring another watch, I would put it in this customer service case that I get from TAG Heuer when my watches go out for servicing. It's well padded and nice and compact.
I travel back and forth between Europe and Africa every other month with 2 extra watches with me in my hand-luggage. No issues whatsoever. Sometimes the officer asks what is inside, but from the look on their monitor, I can tell they know what is inside the bag.... My 2Ksh
Understood. Have you carried a lot at once? I was thinking of carrying 10 watches in my watch box. Wondering if that's ok...
I travel with this hard cylindrical leather case in my hand luggage Two up on each pad (reversed) Heads wrapped in tissue and pads packed in bubble wrap to stop them jiggling about And one on the wrist And yes I have had comments from security about the number of watches I'm carrying
Well, the plan is to carry my collection with me when I am overseas for weeks, to keep myself entertained (and under control) or else i might ended up shopping online again

I suspect the large sized one can put 2 watches inside, which is helpful for travel and the occasional GTG. But I usually travel with just 2 watches, so it's one on the wrist, and another in an Oakley watch vault, or less expensive alternatives like thisPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network, or this Purchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Networkand thisPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network.
Thanks to all, especially with prior discussions (which I could not find in a search). I have some really good choices now. Thanks so much.
I once was questioned by airport security, not about the watches, but about a Bergeon springbar tool that I forgot to disassemble (which I usually do). Held it up quizzically: „Now if you have a good explanation for me what THIS is for, you can take it with you“.
And on topic: I second the watch roll plus soft cloth between watch and bracelet... most versatile solution for packing, and most inconspicuous.
