Whether I travel in the states or abroad, I usually travel with just one watch. I have a trip coming up where it would be nice to have my BLNR for the day and DDII for the evening dinners. Do any of you travelers carry more than one watch with you on vacation? I feel a little uneasy although they do have in room safes.

In-room hotel safe is the last place i would leave my watch. Very insecure (the safe, not me).

I believe there are some restrictions on recovery if valuables are stored in the in-room safe versus the "front desk" hotel safe.

AK797 · 25 February 2015, 07:07 AM

I would take both of those and I would put it in the hotel's main safe or even buy a small casebudi and put it in your pocket.

Can't say because I'm not an owner yet...but if I was I'd enjoy those watches every chance I got. Take them both and wear them well.

Watchvirgin · 25 February 2015, 07:10 AM

leave it in the safe and have the "do not disturb" on the door!

This!

bdex75 · 25 February 2015, 07:15 AM

I usually only travel with one watch. But if I do take two I usually keep the other one in a pair of shoes in my suitcase which I close. That in room safe is a sitting duck. Hang the do not disturb sign on the door. I had one security issue in a hotel, with a small amount of cash missing when the room was entered to clean while the DND tag was out. The hotel was easily able to pinpoint the culprit and rectify the situation.

For what it's worth I travel 45-50 weeks a year, 3-4 nights a week mostly in the Midwest.

One on my wrist. Always. Only more than one if I buy something.

watchwatcher · 25 February 2015, 08:04 AM

It's just not worth it to me to take more than one watch...I want to enjoy my trip (if it's a vacation) or focus on my work (if business), not sit and worry about a watch. Or take all these precautions.

My recommendation: pick the watch that works the best and go with that one. Luckily Rolexes are extremely versatile and work well in many different situations. Just my thoughts.

mimo5000 · 25 February 2015, 08:12 AM

Just take one. The BLNR would be perfect as your "Travel Watch".

I normally take 1 Rolex and a beater that I don't care if it gets damaged or stolen.

i travel with one.

a g-shock, ironman, swatch or seiko skx in questionable areas.

a single nicer watch in all others.

Preacher · 25 February 2015, 08:19 AM

I travel with my SubC date and a Gshock GW5000.

Rockrolex · 25 February 2015, 08:25 AM

I typically travel with my Y-series black bezel GMT-II. It goes well with any occasion - dressed up for the opera or dressed down for bangers and mash. For more dicey trips, I may take only my Seiko GMT or a G-Shock.

fullcourt · 25 February 2015, 08:52 AM

vacation, i usually bring more than 1....usually bring them with me in a backpack.

the hotel room safe is ok, dnd sign on the door works well.

when i travel for biz, i only bring 1 watch with me

Marvoon · 25 February 2015, 09:51 AM

if i travel to somewhere new to me,i won't have my rolie with me,maybe iwc or pelagos;if somewhere that i familiar with,yes 1 on my wrist and the other one stay inside the safe of my hotel and leave the note 'DO NOT DISTURB'

strafer_kid · 25 February 2015, 10:01 AM

Just bring the one - no dramas and peace of mind!

707soldier · 25 February 2015, 10:04 AM

I would just brine one.

That's funny.

Dashimmy · 25 February 2015, 11:23 AM

My rule is, don't risk anymore than you're willing to lose.

mazzini · 25 February 2015, 11:39 AM

stayed at the Grand Savoy Xmas week. Do not disturb on the door. Left my Hulk out on the desk as I wore my ss white faced Daytona. The hulk be gone!

Mea culpa. Usually leave it in a locked case and not the safe.

Went on to Venice and replaced it with a new blue faced Milgauss. Love it.

sickened1 · 25 February 2015, 11:52 AM

Take only one with me when travel and it usually stays on my wrist.

One Ping Only · 25 February 2015, 12:05 PM

I sometimes bring more than one on vacation. I usually carry the spare in my brief case or backpack rather than leave it in the hotel room safe.

T01 · 25 February 2015, 12:49 PM

I'd only take one.

sea-dweller · 25 February 2015, 12:49 PM

One Rolex, one G Shock...

flathead59 · 25 February 2015, 01:01 PM

Depends on how many time zones are involved. 1 time zone, one watch. Multiple time zones, Omega GMT and the DJ.
