Where to source Omega travel/service case in UK

SeaMSTR · Nov 13, 2021

Afternoon all.

I am looking for a couple of the red omega service pouches, as pictured below. Does anyone have any sources in the UK (apart from eBay)?

I wonder if it would be worth trying to pop into a boutique and asking politely for one or two?

Any other recommendations for single watch travel cases appreciated (I have done a quick search on here).

Thanks, Paul.

Ooooh very scarce them g'vnor, very scarce. <audio: teeth sucking\> I do just 'appen to have one I might part wiv, but, well you know market's goin' up all the time. Gut instinct says I should hold on and wait.

To transport a watch not on my wrist I use the sort of document/money pouch found in outdoors/travel/mountaineering shops, either round the neck or waist. Not as much protection but less obvious.

Thanks for the reply MRC! And the comedy cockney tone 😁.

Please send me a PM if you do have one you wish to move on.

Many thanks!

I would imagine that the collective OF membership is sitting on thousands of these. You should mention where you live and maybe you can just do a meet-up.

As far as other containers, I often ship watches in these. They're all over eBay.

I do Black Country like a native, but 99.99% of the OF members wouldn't understand a word from it.

It's part of the history of sending my Seamaster to Bienne at expense greater than its street value -- that was before I found OF 🙁 But it's the nearest I get to "box & papers" for the Seamaster so must surely double its value.

Wulverampton + Wall'sl me. When I lived in the USA mum used to send me tapes of Dolly Allen performances. Playing those certainly cleared my apartment of guests I wanted to get rid of.
