Im going to be travelling on the same time zone, ill be doing a 600 mile roadtrip to the atlantic coast of my country to visit the island of baru and staying there for two days, then going to a national beacj park called el cabo de la vela, but im getting there through gravel roads in the worst condition as part of the adventure, total 500 miles of mud and dirt and gettin stuck and fixing the car. After this I am going to another island, called bocachica and stayng there for two days and then the return trip of another 600 miles back home. i am torn between my nd sub and my pepsi.

rfknauss · 10 August 2010, 02:14 AM

Since you will be in the same time zone .... I would take the Sub!

Dr. Robert · 10 August 2010, 02:21 AM

sub....but....remember to take it off when you fix your car!

Johny · 10 August 2010, 02:22 AM

sub.

PanosI · 10 August 2010, 02:25 AM

Sub.....

roger0770 · 10 August 2010, 02:27 AM

sub, sub, and sub... same time zone, no need for gmt.

dalip · 10 August 2010, 02:27 AM

I did a similar trip last year, theres a thread on it, very good times. had my polar explorer at the time, it would be perfect for this trip, so slim and tough. heres what i am taking to the trip

nauticajoe · 10 August 2010, 02:31 AM

The Sub.

jeangtd · 10 August 2010, 02:31 AM

Ok so sub it is, now part 2. oyster or Bond Nato? im guessing sub because all of the beaches, its a no brainer eventhough i am not going to go diving.

tifosi · 10 August 2010, 02:39 AM

Sub on oyster

scl6118 · 10 August 2010, 10:48 AM

I say GMT, even though you won't be in different time zones. I would think of any excuse to wear a Pepsi!

kcmo · 10 August 2010, 12:00 PM

Another vote for the Sub! Have fun.

paverman · 10 August 2010, 12:14 PM

Based on the pictures of the scenery, I feel this trip is far to danerous for you or either of your watches to risk. Please send all travel documents, tickets, visa's and some extra speding money to me and I'll risk one of my watches instead. I feel it's the least I can do.

Maxseven · 10 August 2010, 12:24 PM

I'd say the Submariner is appropriate, and definitely the NATO.

cmedina · 10 August 2010, 12:27 PM

sub w/nato...have a good trip!

520Matt · 10 August 2010, 01:08 PM

I would take the sub, just seems like it is meant for the tough trip

ParisDakarBmw · 10 August 2010, 01:09 PM

Sub should be just right!

sleddog · 10 August 2010, 01:32 PM

Sub on the nato would be my choice.....!
Comfort,rugged and great to swim with!!!

andrew79 · 10 August 2010, 01:36 PM

Pepsi time....

Lion · 10 August 2010, 01:37 PM

As has been stated, I would go with the Sub but either the oyster bracelet or Nato strap would look just fine!!!

Rolesor · 10 August 2010, 01:40 PM

Sub

timeisfathaoftruth · 10 August 2010, 01:45 PM

From the pics it looks like the sub would fit in nicely.

SSD · 10 August 2010, 02:28 PM

I must agree on the Sub. They thrive on adversity, and it would be both a bulletproof companion during the journey and a great companion in the gorgeous surf at the beach!

Hey, I tried to search to find your thread on your previous trip. No luck. Gotta link??

EDIT: Found the thread

dddrees · 10 August 2010, 02:32 PM

Trip to dangerous. Wear a timex on nato.

Send me the SUB and GMT for safe keeping, I'll make sure nothing bad happens to them. LOL

jeangtd · 10 August 2010, 03:45 PM

I took my good old sub on the bulletproof oyster, almost went with nato, but realized that i dont have the nice natos, and the overall quality is bad, but i will be getting proper natos once i return, i feel it's safer to have in case one of the slugs fail (its a relativelly new sub so i dont think they would fail) you know for piece of mind.

I will be back in a couple of weeks and will post pics of what i put the sub throgh, thats why i buy rolex anyway, casue they can take one hell of a beating, if i only had a dj i would sure as hell bring it along.
