My new Pelican case

Post by germy_wermy » 19 Sep 2014 22:29

Hi SCS bros!

This just came in, and I am pretty pleased with it! Pardon my poor photos.

My mini-review of the Pelican 1200 and the Pick and Pluck foam.

The Pelican 1200 is just the right size for 6 watches, and maybe can squeeze in 8.

I have no need for the waterproof-ness of it as all my watches are diver watches, but the case is built like a tank, and is reassuringly solid. The clasps snap shut authoritatively, and I have no worries when swinging the case around in my hand and skipping around like a little girl.

The foam is very easy to deal with as it is already cut out into little squares but the important thing is to have a plan, and a sharp knife, and steady hands. I don't mind slight jagged edges that will occur if you DIY (especially for the first time).

I 'recycled' the cut out foam by using them as pillows, and stored the leftover foam to use for other purposes.

Thank you for reading! :)
