    This is probably over the top for watch travel accessories, but I bought a cheap waterproof, shock resistant case from the local hardware store and finally bought some foam to play with!

    I honestly don't know when I'll use it, maybe traveling or storing my watch when I'm at the gym, but it cost me 20 aud for everything (plus a ton more foam), so not too expensive

    anyway onto the (blurry) photos.

    I think if I use it enough I might invest in getting the foam laser cut, for much more precise shapes, but this will do for now. I could also use a double clamshell foam set up if need be.

    Nice sharp knife and wet the foam prior to cutting and it will cut neater.

    Or with the same sharp knife

    Just put a piece of marked cardboard on top and cut through the cardboard and foam while the foam is compressed.

    Things like that blow my mind. $1.65 and free shipping from China? Crazy. I just picked up an aftermarket lens hood for about the same price from China.

    If you're lucky, there will still be sweat and tear residue from the slave labourers on the items when you receive them :thumbsup:
