Do you guys and gals take your rolexs on vacation.
Not sure what to do.

My rolexs are weekend watches.

frostie · 13 July 2008, 11:51 PM

Since it will be the first vacation of my GMT II C

i am going to take him with me

It's my daily beater after all

Take the watch with you and enjoy your vacation with your rollie on your wrist

mike · 13 July 2008, 11:52 PM

Usually I take a GMT and a G-Shock. I like the "G" for a morning run and the GMT for everything else.

Steven79 · 14 July 2008, 12:00 AM

Heck yes I take them! Its a part of me and I want to see the world with my Rolex on my wrist.

I dont understand when people buy a Rolex and don't wear it, especially on vacation.

Dan Pierce · 14 July 2008, 12:08 AM

Absolutely. This is not a dress rehearsal. You only go 'round once in life. I'm gonna enjoy it with a Rolex on my wrist.

If not now, when? My GMT II is insured, the perfect watch for travel, and it looks so damn good [imho]!

My Rolexes don't care for vacations, They seem to work fine regardless of where I take them. I'd rather take a woman though.

DeepSeaWatches · 14 July 2008, 12:38 AM

I think it depends on the location of the vacation. If you feel that you may be a walking target with the Rolex on your wrist, I might choose something different...

Tools · 14 July 2008, 01:02 AM

I wear a Rolex almost everywhere.........

OK, let me qualify that... If it's a water vacation, I think hard about the Sub, and the last cruise to Alaska I wore an Electric Blue SMP Omega....

However, usually I travel with an EXP II or a GMT beause I like the time zone change function. The EXP II has logged as much snorkeling time as the Sub..

If I had a Solid Gold model, I might think twice in todays envoronment.

sea-dweller · 14 July 2008, 01:46 AM

Always. As another post also stated, I also bring one of my G Shock watches along for exercise purposes...

Question is will you be able to enjoy your vacation without your Rolex? I know I won't!

stevemulholland3 · 14 July 2008, 04:55 AM

hey dan,
is that city boise idaho??

Yume-sama · 14 July 2008, 05:02 AM

It depends where I am going. In general, yes, I do take a couple with no problems at all (don't even take it off for airport security). Just make sure you keep the receipts and documents that prove you purchased them in your home Country and have paid the taxes on them, just in case you get stopped, as I have.

GMTII Owner · 14 July 2008, 05:27 AM

Yes, I take my Rolex with me on vacation. I wear my Rolex daily and it is a part of my attire.

f16570 · 14 July 2008, 05:29 AM

Why wouldn't you?

Art 1 · 14 July 2008, 05:31 AM

I wear one yes.

Baptistman · 14 July 2008, 06:21 AM

To right, my Rollie loves a break and its a condition of TRF membership to post pictures of your Rolex on Hols

Tarheel · 14 July 2008, 06:22 AM

I wear mine on vacations in the States and Europe -- but not in certain parts of Asia or Africa.

marshallr47 · 14 July 2008, 08:42 AM

Absolutely. You bought the watch to be worn. Enjoy those life experiences and give that watch some history and character. Enjoy your vacation.

boa2 · 14 July 2008, 08:49 AM

I thought a vacation was like a string of extra long weekends.

2 weeks until our vacation, and I'll be bringing a Rolex AND a Panerai.

tamuaggie82 · 14 July 2008, 10:38 AM

Yes, I always take one with me.

I have normally taken my Sub Date with me, but I'm thinking the new GMT IIc may get the nod next time.

The two time zones may come in handy.

vh_bu98 · 14 July 2008, 12:11 PM

I wear my Rolex every where and any where. Isn't that the point of owning one?

Jedi · 14 July 2008, 07:59 PM

I have worn my Explorer II everywhere since getting it last December, in places like Thailand, Taiwan, Hong Kong, rural parts of Malaysia and Indonesia, Manila in the Philippines, I don't really worry. Guess it's because I'm just in slacks and t-shirt or shorts and t-shirts... Very laidback casual I am...

SSD · 15 July 2008, 12:15 AM

Gettin' Subbie ready for another trip to Panama City Beach!

I will NOT get crab juice in the bracelet like my wife did hers last year!

YUK!!!

ppprolli · 15 July 2008, 12:42 AM

I take my Rolex and a G shock when i go vacation;in places that i don't feel comfortable
or in water i wear Gshock.

TempoKing · 15 July 2008, 12:49 AM

Leaving tomorrow for Europe, will not be back 'till the end of July.
I will be thinking of you all...lol
Taking with me three watches, My 1969 Patek Calatrava, My 1947 Omega 2451 and my couple of years old Daytona white gold 116509.

IF....While on vacation I will make a deal (you know me I love the chase) I will let you know
what, where, and how much...just for statistical reasons.

DSJ · 15 July 2008, 02:25 AM

I absolutely take my Rolex on vacation. That's why I pay insurance.

ratae1950 · 15 July 2008, 02:50 AM

Depends where I go---ie Quebec yes China no.
