Finally, a replacement for the Oakley (small) watch vault !!

To the forum:

Just been advised that Casebudi has released a new smaller version of its watch travel case. It's 6mm smaller than original case and fits 38mm watches.

Available on Amazon!

(Thank you Gordon for the heads-up).

There is a thread about this in the AP section. Check it out. I bought one and did a mini-review.

In short, I love it. I think it's a great value for the money.

It's still a little bigger than the old small Oakley, but should hold most Rolexes just fine. I think they made it like this because it seems they may have dropped their large model (not sure about this). The new size is probably a good compromise between the large and small.

Goos to know I'll check out your review. I have some of the small Oakley's, they seem to be worth their weight in gold these days.

It's already available. Members here have received them. In fact, your link shows 8 in stock.

This looks to be very comparable to the small Oakley watch vault which I have and like very much.
One thing's for sure; The price is certainly right on Amazon.

Just went into a Oakley store here in DC (actually at the new Tanger Outlets at National Harbor). They had 3 small vaults in stock which I grabbed. They said they will get more, so I'll go back and check this week. Anybody interested if they have them?

Yes. I would like to get my hands on one or two, if possible!

I'm in and thank-you. I'd take everyone you can get, but I'm not a pig, LOL! Once's enough for me, the rest for our other members with a burning desire.

This is very curious though. Can you give us the part number off the box? The old part number to the small vault (07-233) still does not hit when searched.

They actually did't have them in a box, just with tags attached to the zipper. I will check what the code was when I get home.

Does anyone know if this will fit a Submariner? The sub is 40mm and the description says up to 38mm. I wonder how tight the fit would be.

I have both case buddies the large and the small, the small one fits the 40 mm submariner perfectly. The large one has a bit of room for the watch to move around and both are made with quality.

The small one definitely holds a 40mm sub.
