FS: 18-watch Pelican case with specialised insert
About half a year ago, I started a project to create what I felt would be the ultimate watch case. I knew I wanted a Pelican case but I wasn't satisfied with the DIY aesthetics of the pick-&-pluck foam. I wanted something that would be precise, easy to use and more wear-resistant than the perforated foam that came out of the box.After much design and research I came up with this: a foam insert for the Pelican 1470. This has been well received by fellow members on this and other forums, and even featured on Worn & Wound [http://wornandwound.com/2013/03/15/diy-pelican-watchcase-pt-2/].
This insert is die-cut out of medium-density foam that's going to cushion your watch without scratching the stainless steel or crystal. The die-cutting ensures that every piece is a perfect fit, from the walls to the pillows. I give to you, my creation:

When you receive my case you're good to go instantly. There's no cutting, no measuring, no glueing; just pop your watches in, stand back and admire! :P
The case itself is water tight, air tight, dust proof, crush proof and fire retardant. It's inconspicuous in the home and is compact enough to stash in a house safe. Open the lid and you've got an instant display for your collection. :o
