Hi, Does anyone know where I can source the pocket watch storage cases exactly like the ones Desmond Lundy was selling.
I have some other ones very similar in style but the one I got from Desmond years ago is built a little better and the individual cubes are also very slightly larger in size (2 1/4" x 2 3/8") which allows some of my watches with bigger bows to fit without having to fold the bow.
Desmonds cases were green on the exterior with a green inner lining. The height on the case was also just a little deeper coming in at 1 3/8" vs 1" on the ones I see on the market now.
Any help in locating a vendor for these would be greatly appreciated.
See the post by David Abbe just above mine for a description of Desmonds cases.
Thanks Rick

I bought mine from Ashland years ago. You could buy the 15 cap 16s or the 12 cap 18s either for about $16 bucks as I recall
I bought all 12 cap ones so my bigger bow 16S would fit nicely They're still holding up 20 yrs later don;t know if they still handle them or what price is
The only ones I see on ebay all hold some different kind of watch it has a strap on both sides kind of strange. I believe they call them wristwatches?
Those are same ones I bought years ago, his are primarily for 12 and 16S watches, some 18S will fit it but probably not all still not bad for 2019 price?
