As a watch collector, I've accumulated several watch boxes and display cases over the years, paying as much as $200 for a simple case.  I purchased this Tech Swiss brown leather case in July 2012 with expectations that it would be like most of the others:  flimsy, cheap and not much to look at.  Instead, it was high quality and a great value for the $40 I paid.

PROs:  nice constuction inside and out, sturdy easy open-n-close magnetic clasp I can operate with one hand...which is nice because I usually have a watch in my other hand when I need to access it, two small leather pockets inside the top which are great for storing warranty cards, flat watch bands and extra links. The two forward compartments make room for my odd sized watch cuffs, pocket watches and smaller cases.

CONs:  As someone else noted, there are no locking hinges to hold the lid open, however, after four months of use, the ribbons have stretched slightly enough that the lid now stays open on its own.

Overall, for this price, I am very impressed with the quality, design, look and feel and functionality of this case.  I keep my best and most valuable 18K gold watches in this case.  It is the first Tech Swiss product I've owned, but I liked it so well that I just ordered the Tech Swiss pocket watch storage case in hope that it will be of comparable quality.

COMPARISONS:  This case is as good as--and probably better than--the two Wolf Designs watch cases I bought for four times the money.  The inside leather is almost as nice as the leather inside a very expensive Tourneau case I own.

RATING:  9.0 out of 10.0
