I recently acquired a Breitling Field Watchmaker Case and thought it would make the perfect watch case. I need to trim the divider pieces slightly since they are larger from the thickness of the paint.

I taped off the entire case to paint the bottom black to match the black paint that Breitling put on the bottom of the case.

(The dividers are slightly larger now due to the added thickness of the paint that you can notice on the left piece)

I wasn't sure how you were going to make the foam work with the size of the travel pillows, but you pulled it off and it looks great! I also love your collection, especially the Transocean Unitime Pilot! wink wink!!

Thanks Guys, I used the pillows from the Breitling Travel cases instead of styrofoam that I was originally going to use for watch pillows.

It did not really take that long, 3-4 hours from start to finish. Most of the time I was waiting for the glue or paint to dry.
