What to take to Italy?

[Daytonaman799]

I am leaving this week for a vacation in Italy where time will be spent on the Amalfi/ Capri and some days in Rome to close out. I was going to take 2 watches with me so the question is what to take? I was thinking a PL DD 40 and Pepsi but there are some PP’s in the mix for consideration as well.

DD 40
5726
Pepsi
5712
Daytona

Pepsi

I’m going to Europe in a few days. I’m bringing my GMT BLNR and Apple Watch.

GMT, no doubt. Put that GMT function to use!!!

Go big-Day Date and 5726.

I would take only one watch and keep it on your wrist. There is just way too much risk when bringing multiple pieces on vacation. Where are you going to store it when it isn't on the wrist? Hotel safe is not safe at all... your bag can be tampered with.

I've made this mistake before and I would constantly be worried about the watch I left behind hidden or stored.

If you call the places where you are staying and they offer a safety deposit box in the lobby, you'd be somewhat safer. I'd bring the DD.

This is where I would go. I acquired my most recent Rolex earlier this month while on travel and was not comfortable leaving either my old tool watch Rolex Sub or my new DJ41 in the hotel, or a locked rental car, etc. As an alternative my wife wore my Sub and I wore the new watch until we flew home.

Option one made me chuckle. :)

I hate traveling with more than one watch, it’s just added stress.

I’d personally go for the Pepsi and only that. Can handle anything and you have an applicable complication for travel.

Last thing I would be thinking about what watch I would take as time would be the least important thing on my mind especially on holiday.

None of the above
A beater, unless you like your arm separated from your shoulder or getting rolled.
Have a great trip.

So many people in those regions wear Rolex.

[StackLexus17]

DD 40 Platinum.
You're going to be next to the water in Amalfi / Capri. (Blue & blue)

Enjoy!

PS - If you make it to Sorrento, check out this restaurant.

1. Buy a Panerai
2. Take the Panerai to Italy

[Vince_76]

5712 and the GMT imo

[Cassian739]

5712 & Pepsi GMT will work at whatever high end hotel/resort your are staying at; plus a beater to wear when you are not with the security detail protecting your wrist in public.

[JRell]

I voted Pepsi - you are traveling and it is a cool fun watch. Wouldn’t take anything else.

[Apdl]

I'd just bring one, I would be too worried about storage of the second. That one in this case would be the Pepsi

[reposado]

Personally wouldn’t want the hassle of one of those fantastic pieces being left in a safe or your luggage. Take one and enjoy, GMT would be my choice

[Hulkhunter]

Maybe consider just taking the one. Saves carrying too much about with you, especially if you are travelling around and changing hotels.

I took my Pepsi jubilee as my only watch on a recent US west coast trip. Wore it for everything, pool, bars, beach.

Amalfi and capri should be all good(iv been). Keep your wits about you in Rome, where your watch will be more of a target.

I’d take either the Daytona or Pepsi.

Great 5 piece collection BTW.

I would not be worried about Italy…

Whichever one worth the least, leave rest at home.

[bluestreak]

Just to echo others’ sentiments here. Only bring one watch. Don’t let it leave your wrist. Enjoy your trip.
I for one would not want to be carrying almost 100K in watches on my vacation.

[MYK]

Italy, Daytona for sure! And the GMT for the dual time functionality? :)

[illiguy]

Pepsi and Apple Watch

[Cru Jones]

If two, I would take the BLRO and Daytona.
