I have 8 of the Rolex green suede watch pouches like the Tudor one you have. I've got a couple from Rolex services and I have a good relationship with my Rolex watchmaker so he has given me some as gifts over the years. I also have the Rolex knife, pen, key ring, couple hats, calendar etc. as free gifts with new watch purchases. As a tip my wrist is 7.25 inches so it fits on the inner card without bending it but you can always open the dive extension to store it flat in the pouch or open the easy link on newer non-dive watches.

I like your channel! Use the diver's extension to make the bracelet bigger then it relieves the tension

I’ve seen them use the vertical Rolex pouch for Tudor repairs (biggest Rolex dealer in The Netherlands; you might know them). And the Grand Seiko repair box (yes a small “box”) really blows the Rolex and Tudor pouches out of the water. I’ve had the misery to visit a RSC personally within a day after buying a watch in two occasions and in different countries (as I bought them taxfree at the airport). And the GS bracelet was incorrectly shortened so it literally almost fell of my wrist. Got a completely new bracelet. So I acquired knowledge on RSC’s in multiple countries and quality of service for major watch brands including the service pouches/boxes used. Quite an interesting collection.

Great video, I always wrap my Rolex with a deerskin cloth when I put them into a pouch or a travel case, I totally get what you're saying. I like to do that so when I lay it down on the nightstand at the hotel I can cover the top and bottom of the watch.

A wonderful example of OCD at work here and I thought I may be on my own. 🤓 Love your content and views. ✅

Also if you have a watch that is running fast or slow the way you put it down at night will change it. Eg flat, crown down or flat side down +/- 3-4 secs (overnight) believe it or not...worth experimenting.

Hi Austin ! Good points you make there...I just cut the suede cardboard bit in order to fit the size of the bracelet. It works well. I also wrap a soft microfiber cloth around the cardboard part to make it feel like a small cushion....then I insert the whole thing / watch into the pouch....Really OCD....hahah !

structural engineer here, steel has different regions of stress, there is a region where you can apply some stress and it is elastic, so you can apply stress to it, deform the metal and the metal will go back its it's original shape. There is a point for steel called the yield strength, once you pass that level of stress the metal permanently deforms. Think about a paperclip, if you use it with a small amount of paper, like 3 sheets or something, the paperclip returns to it's original form. If you put a fat stack of papers then the paperclip passes yield strength and it's permanently deformed. I'm guessing that pouch bag insert would not reach that point to permanently stretch the bracelet.

Hi Austin. On the interior snap piece, why not place the watch in the sleeve so the crystal faces the back of the sleeve - opposite the snap. The bracelet may be close, but not the crystal. Thanks for the video!

[johndavid]

Hi Austin with the Tudor one you have cutting the inner part will help you fit it better

[kennyw]

Love the way you had to get the dial facing upwards like the watch has feelings lol,
Personally I’d only use those for bringing my watch home then transport them in a proper case, I agree with the other comments though, loosen the glide lock to remove tension.

[willemdeleeuw]

To lessen the pressure, if you expect to store a watch for an extended period an idea might be to add more links to the bracelet and/or use the dive extension if the bracelet has one.

[mrp]

Very cool Austin. I hope to get a pouch some day when I service my watches. For now I use the Everest suede pouches. They’re not expensive and come in different colors.

I wouldnt think the tension created by the board would cause any stretching of the bracelet

[jojacvonkekebau]

Nobody if forcing you to use the piece of cardboard that comes with the pouch; Use the pouch and replace the cardboard part with something cylindrical and softer that will put less tension on the bracelet, or... You know, don't use the RSC pouch for storing watches. We pay a lot of money for watches and straps so a few $ for a nice pouch shouldn't be a problem. All of these seem cheap and nothing more than a little bit of protection to get the watch home safe after picking it up after a service.

I enjoyed the video but you're overthinking this. :D

Where can you buy the older style pouches without the button? They seem to be perfect for bank vault storage.

Check out on Chrono24 for parts/accessaries under pouch you will find a few brown fine leather pouch by Rolex which is said to be given out to VVIP customers. Those selling it on chrono24 is asking insane money for them but they are really good design and high quality as I have a few.

Great video Austin. Always love the ROWLECKS content.
