I just received a new 10-watch Peli case from Case Farm UK. It is brilliant. The foam is much higher-density than the standard pick-and-pluck variety. I will be posting a review this weekend, but so far I can highly recommend it.

Also...fun fact...in the US Pelican cases are branded "Pelican" but when sold in Europe they are branded as "Peli" and there are different logos as well.

I have several microbrand watches that came in customized Pelican cases. Very high quality.

Nahh, it's very well hidden in the kitchen and bright orange, no one will ever want to take it.

I think its not exactly ridiculous. Ok the foam stretching might be abit OTT but some foam can be abrasive to certain metals.

When using an airtight case such as the Pelican, do you use a desiccant? Is this something people also obsess over like with firearm storage?
