Upcoming trip with my family. The YG GMT would look great in the Florida sun. Saw lots of gold DDs, Daytonas, etc. there last year. Can't get past the idea of lots of rides with metal drop bars, though. No dents, no way! Should my SS SubC be the workhorse?

DJ TT 2002 · 9 February 2014, 10:49 AM

The choices

Sublover2166 · 9 February 2014, 10:52 AM

Wore my TT 16613 Sub there last August for 2 weeks. Did all the rides and attractions and never got a nick or ding. Have fun and don't worry about the watch.

I wore my YG YM2 to WD. No issues but quite a few furtive glances.

If I had a choice a Deepsea or a YG GMT2 (Green) when going on a Disney cruise, what would you suggest? Do r'ber I'll be travelling all the way from Oman. That's around 20 hours of flying approximately. :)

So its my dilemma as well.

Need I say more?

DJ TT 2002 · 9 February 2014, 10:55 AM

I don't disagree. Hate to put it in the vault

sco · 9 February 2014, 10:57 AM

I'm going in April and mentioned to my wife the other day that I have to figure out which watch to wear there. She of course rolled her eyes...

I'm thinking either g shock or sub. I know they are very different, but with some swimming and other activities either one should be a good fit.

kilyung · 9 February 2014, 10:59 AM

I just spent 5 days wearing my 116718 while traveling for work. Loved every minute with it. A fantastic travel watch.

That's one watch I wouldn't get bored looking at

DJ TT 2002 · 9 February 2014, 11:01 AM

Cannot give a better suggestion than the Grand Floridian there. Great hotel. Perfect location

I must agree with this. Took family there twice, going to go again next year when youngest is out of college and we can arrange for all of the kids to have a week off.

pfg1 · 9 February 2014, 11:04 AM

Just wrap the GMT in two layers of duct tape for the day.......good to go!

Clever

If it withstands daily life with my kids, it is probably indestructible

YG gets my vote!

You will be one of many. Go for it.

718 goes everywhere. Enjoy the trip!

shofzr · 9 February 2014, 11:43 AM

My Day-Date II survived hiking up a mountain in Poland to explore castle ruins with out a bump or scratch , I have no doubt your gold GMT can handle the Magic Kingdom.

Go Gold, enjoy your trip.

I didn't know you had this one! My Rolex grail!

Lot of potential bumps and hits at MK (tons of people walking around, rides, etc.).

LA_LEC · 9 February 2014, 11:55 AM

Life is full of bangs, bumps, tumbles and falls.

Certainly the most practical metal for a tool / working watch is stainless steel and ceramic is not the best construction material for a bezel due to the fragility of that material.

In addition, the older style clasp "might" lack the comfort of the newer version, however, with the additional parts and welds used in the construction, the failure / damage potential is much greater as well.

perpetualman88 · 9 February 2014, 12:19 PM

Go for it great watch why not enjoy it

Mystro · 9 February 2014, 12:27 PM

The question is....Why wouldn't you wear your SS Sub??? Its Disney and not a adult gambling casino weekend. Its a casual family vacation right?? Seems like that's what you bought your SS Sub for. If you can't wear it to casual activities, you might as well sell it. To me this is like driving the Porsche 911 in the snow storm when you have a Rang Rover in your other garage bay.
