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.
Dividers Built

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.    After 2 coats  After 3 Coats Dividers Painted    (Finished 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. |
