FS: Leather Watchrolls - a slightly different take

For sale are a few leather watchrolls i designed due to frustration with current designs that dont fully meet my needs as a watch collector. So in a way these are designed by a collector, for the collector and (hopefully) of the collector ;-)

I humbly present the Travel-Maki in 3 variations (i have made 2 pieces each only).

Common features:
1) holds 6 watches
2) watch heads are equally distributed at both ends when "rolled" for better balance
3) "rolls" up with 70s autavias/monacos, loupe and sprinbar tool with width of under 3"
4) holds a watchmaker loupe without bulging
5) generously sized pockets to fit most chronos and divers. Stitched halfway down to avoid pulling in the edge of roll
6) leather is thicker at 1.6mm and provides better proection than canvas or many rolls with thinner leather

The main design difference from other rolls are watch heads are on both sides of roll and the Travel-Maki is folded rather than rolled so watches are stacked evenly inside. Loupe fits into a natural cavity created when maki is filled with watches. Pics below should be self explanatory (illustrated with variant 2)

Variant 1a ($140)
1) In dark espresso full grain aniline dyed leather meant for luxury yachts.
2) Leather is water resistant (not to any depth, just surface splashes) and probably salt and wear resistant as it was designed for it
3) with loupe holder and extra pocket which can be used for documents or additional 7th watch if required

Variant 2 ($180)
1) In Black full grain deer tanned leather with brown or black strap. Super luxurious, soft and buttery feel
2) includes springbar tool and loupe holder

Payment by Paypal
Shipping cost (expedited parcel with tracking) is extra with approximate cost below:
Canada $20
USA $30
Europe $50
Asia $55
I am waiting for fedex quotes which may be cheaper form of shipping

References available (but for watches not watchrolls as this is first transaction of this sort for me)

Thanks Jeff for the space and permission.
