The term “vulcanized” implies cross linking of polymer chains, and that’s what happens here- the cellulose cross links to form a hard dense material, arguably “plastic “in nature. One cross linked, there no going back unless you break some pretty solid molecular bonds. So it won’t dissolve if it gets wet.

Rayon is made from cellulose in a different process and is pretty durable, used in everything from dresses to tires.

I better get off their website now before I put something in my cart…

New home for my babies...

Just finished moving my watches into their new home! One from the collection is still at the spa, and another one is on extended order, so still have 4 empty spots. Going to enjoy my collection for a little bit, and mull over what might fill the remaining...  

Hell of a collection!

It could be one of mine! Enjoy them!

Thanks!

I’m missing my Bulgari OF (which should be back any day), and then a KV (which I am 2 years away from…)

Thanks! I have an extremely quick trigger finger…

Very happy with it. I’ve always wanted something from Globetrotter, but shied away from buying anything because if is not that practical. This was a great way to get something from a brand I’ve always admired.

Don't we all.

However, in this day of being stuffed in a tin can, being served no drinks, handlers throwing your luggage, etc., I think those days are done.

Thanks!

Fortunately, not TOO much room. But nice to have some flexibility.

Lots of $$ Space $$ Left In That Case

You will have fun filling it. Cazalea

I thought about a 6 watch case…

let's have a housewarming drink ;-)

Gosh, I need to get me one of those!

That is so darn cool! I've wanted one of those Jerry Can minibars for a while...

Totally awesome! I've always wondered about the Globe Trotter, but never got one due to the fiberboard material.

How do you like the "grey" fiberboard? The Globetrotter luggage is made of basically a compressed colored fiberboard material, made of recycled paper. Here is the description on Globe-Trotter's website: "We take pride in producing sustainable luggage. Glo...

Yeah! That's a dangerous website. Did you see the Rimowa watch box?

The Rimowa watch box is crazily priced, way too expensive for what it is, but what an awesome package!

Grow perspective

You enjoy your new watch case at max. But beware, empty gaps must be filled. Rolex, Patek, a Speedy, it is clear for me the four empty spaces would be no bargain. I would say, your box screams for a Speedy new Snoopy anniversary, and a nice Bond NTTD Seam...
