Just buy a generic one. It's not like Rolex made that case. They contracted it out and had the logo embossed on it.

They are available for VIIPP customers and are ordered via Rolex by the AD's they do 2 models , one for 12 and one for 18 watches. The AD has to buy them off Rolex (not cheap).

The case is made by Valextra as a bespoke piece for Rolex, you can not purchase one off their website.

I think that's what people say is "optimistic" pricing.

One would have to be a super great customer to receive that as a gift from an AD.

I recently purchased the 18 case version and love it. As another member noted, it is made by Valextra. I paid 3500 for mine, not cheap but I was sick of having multiple cases and this is the one style I found that appealed to me.

Nice and sounds like a good deal as well. I was looking into a LV case but their prices have gone out of the window

Thanks for the info. At this price point I would consider one. Can you post some pics of yours? Thanks!

I have the one with 12 watches, it was a gift from my AD, they only had two cases and they haven't had more. It costs AD dearly to give it away.

No, found one online. Would be curious what price the AD has to pay. Either way, I’m happy to have bought it

The case is very nice, but the prices on ebay are ridiculous!

Rolex boutique used to give to their VIP as a gift but not any more. You still can purchase from them. Two years ago it’s about $2500.

I just don't know why you'd pay that much for an embossed Rolex logo. That's probably a $300 case. lol

Nice case, but I don’t have that many watches

Personally, I prefer to use individual pouches.

I disagree, these are made by Valextra and their card holders alone are greater than $300. If a collector has an extensive, and most likely expensive, collection I don’t know why they would skimp and use a cheap looking case, but hey, to each their own.

I'll have to look them up. Never heard of Valextra.

The Valextra site and products look really nice. Unfortunately I don’t see watch cases listed on the site. By chance did you try contacting them to ask if they can make a case for you?
I don’t mind not having the Rolex logo for such a nice case.
I’m curious to reach out, unless you did already before.

p.s. Bosphorus cases are very nice too, and they can customize sizes beyond what’s on their site.

I didn’t think to do that. If you do reach out, please let me know what they say. I wonder if there would be minimums for a special order. Perhaps other TRF members would be interested as well.

I looked at Bosphorus too, but didn’t like their designs either. I’m quite picky

You should be picky…that’s good money being paid for these products.
I’ll reach out and let everyone know what they say.
