I was pondering a good travel case since the SS Link bracelet does not sit very flat. I found an older Oakley watch case in my closet and it fits my wife's SS Mil very well. I assume it will fit the link just as well (when it finally ships). It is shaped like a donut, has felt interior and a fairly rigid exterior. Works fine with the 42mm square face (due to the larger size) and covers the zipper from the inside to avoid scratching.

For anyone interested you can actually find it on Amazon, search for Oakley Large Watch Soft vault.

Thanks for the tip, just received mine and it works great!

I mostly wanted something I could keep in my car and use as a safe place to put my watch when I go to the beach, or someplace I don't want to risk wearing it. This is perfect :)

I guess it helps that Oakley makes large square watches already so it was tailor made ready to fit! Glad everyone is liking them.

I just got mine today, it's a tight fit. Hoping my Rolex will fit in that as well so I can wear either or and then pack the other. Is there a larger version available? I ordered the regular one on Amazon, only saw a small version.

Case came in today as I'm flying out tomorrow, works great with my 42mm SG.

I think there are two sizes. I had a smaller one already and ordered my wife the Large from Amazon. The former fits tight while the later has some wiggle room. both worked. YMMV

No I meant to quote you.. that's an excellent picture. I have the large and the fit is perfect... Even if i don't use it for high end watches like some people. ;)
