Same issue… bought it but didn’t really make sense to bring it around traveling… honestly a lot larger than I expected
thoughts on this Rimowa case?
It was expensive but really feels like a high quality finishing. Fitting for the collection, but I almost still prefer cheaper leather watch rolls. Enter text ...
If for some reason, your watch hit the case, causing dents on both watch and this case, I cannot imagine the heartache…
I still prefer good old leather watch roll.
Of course the design is … but when we, humans, take it out or move, if, like I mentioned, you brushed the bracelet against the side/edge of the Rimowa case…..
Anything can happen, I just will try to eliminate such possibilities to a minimum but using traditional leather roll. Similar concept with setting the watches with toothpicks as recommended by collectors here, instead of the WG push pin.
Oh wow 🤩! It looks high end and very protective !
Your Pateks deserves such security detail. 💪 How many watches does it hold ?

Ahh, the limited edition of the GO navigator… with no date. Never seen one but would love to when/if opportunity arises, Cheers, Jérôme
I found it to be too expensive...
Too expensive for me. But definitely very cool. But nearly 2000 Euros! Way too much! But then again, you could also say, buying a 40,000 Euro watch is too much too.
That's fair!
As a big fan of Rimowa, I like it. But when I saw the item and the price, I found it wasn't a great value. Still darn cool though!
Definitely nice, though my main issue with buying a fancy watch case has always been the temptation it would follow, to keep many watches at home rather than in a bank....a pretty big "No" in Italy! ;-)
Last summer they held this *really* beautiful case for me for a while (ultimately it went to the store manager's boyfriend, a very good friend and a great Patek collector in town)....the price is even higher than a Rimova (but would house proportionally a...
Amazing points.
This has to be the definitive summary of watch cases. At the end of the day the “fancier” your watch case the more it becomes a display piece. God forbid any of the pieces we are luckily allocated are not worn. The LV case is beautiful and I can’t imagine...
Indeed, and I totally loved that it came as a "mini-trunk," which is so iconic for LV.... I found it now on the US website (here LV is aways much more expensive than in Europe), and in USD it looks like we saved $7,450 ;-)

I deliberated picking this up also but I think concerns over how to store it won over
It was priced slightly weirdly, in that it was 2x that of a luggage case from memory but I assume that speaks to the limited run nature. Enjoy!
Correct.
It’s silly to be so expensive. I don’t travel as much with check-ins so their luggage case line isn’t a big priority for me. But it’s definitely confusing why this is priced so high.
I was interested in this extremely expensive case, so I actually picked it up at a roadside store in Ginza. It's a great feature, but it was too cool for me.
When I heard the staff say, "Another color (hammer tone) version of this case was distributed as an appendix to RM," I retreated my passion for this case. This may barely look good on a steel Nautilus, but I don't think it's suitable for the traditional t...
These guys are worth checking out. Quality stuff. Willing to take bespoke orders:
[Name of the company is Charles Simon -- FabR (moderator)] I enjoyed working with them. The entire process was fun. They are a start-up but I can see these guys getting taken over and going in-house someplace.
probably fits the luggage...made in italy...if you have the luggage i would go for it...and if you can afford USD 2000 for a watch roll you probably dont care that it weighs over 1.2 kg and takes up
a huge amount of luggage space...the owner will fly private for sure
