I travel a lot and take my BLNR on all my trips since I have the dual time zone function.
When I don't feel comfortable taking the BLNR out for any reason, I keep it in my suitcase in the hotel and lock the bag.

I don't exactly have an under the radar watch that would be useful for travel, but I am considering getting one.
Will be nice to wear a watch I like a lot, and also not have to worry about being mugged :)

An explorer I IMO is perfect for this; and though I really do like the watch, I don't love it, and I can't justify buying it just for my travels.
I know given the choice between the BLNR or Explorer if I was in my home town where I always feel safe wearing any watch, the explorer would get zero wrist time.

Whats your "under the radar" watch?
Doesn't have to be a Rolex of course..

I usually travel with my Explorer when on business trips. The Milgauss goes on Holiday.

I do take my watch on the trip, just don't wear it (depends where I am going).
I would if i'm at the hotel lobby/bar etc.

Richard Mille or AP---most have no clue what they are and totally undercover.

brettpaul · 24 June 2015, 08:17 AM

I have my BLNR on a brushed bracelet off a SubC and its stealthy!

eonflux · 24 June 2015, 08:19 AM

The middle one...
No one notices the AP. A couple of "nice watch" compliments during my travels but the admirers were not familiar with AP.
The Rolex's get looks, even if no comments are made.

HERITAGE82 · 24 June 2015, 08:20 AM

Tudor Chronograph with rotating bezel... All I could ever need on a trip.

Was thinking off brushing the links for a while; I do enjoy the PCL when dressing the BLNR up though.

Also. Greeting from Bahrain :)

I travel quite a bit domestically and international. When I go to cities known for their random and widespread crime I leave the Rolexes home and wear a Citizen Eco-drive with multiple timezone capabilities. Throughout Asia, never had a concern - maybe just naive.
Many cities in the US, Europe, Central and South America warrant caution depending on what part of the city you will be in. Rolex is well recognized and easily targeted versus other high end brands that are likely only obvious to the WIS.

When not wearing my trusty GMT II these 12 hour bezels work great for travel or weekly overseas conference calls.

Usually my 14060M is my go to travel watch, I guess if I were somewhere really dodgy or a questionable area I might slip it into my pocket but other than the risk to my life the watch is insured and can be replaced.

I like your "Spork-Tuna" Mr. Pierce.

This one because 99.9999% of the population have no idea what it is.

I am now leaning toward my Aquanaut.

watchwatcher · 24 June 2015, 09:58 AM

If I had a BLNR and damn sure would use it for travel. I can't imagine not doing so.

I travel with my trusty EXP2.
