Climate is cold, will be wearing wool gloves and sports jackets, bringing one watch, either BLNR or Exp II Polar.

Which is a better choice guys? Do PCLs get scratches when in contact with wool gloves constantly?

Thanks in advance!!
Seriously, BLNR - it's designed for time zones. Get over the PCL scratches and wear the watch - or put it in a museum.

I haven't been there in almost 15 years. Before that, I used to go at least 2-3 times a year. I would go with at least the BLNR. I might even take the EXP-II since they both adapt well to multiple time zone travel. Wool gloves won't scratch the PCLs so I wouldn't worry about that.

Have a great trip, Patrick, and post pics on your return.

Went to a grey tonight while killing time before meeting a buddy. I figured there would be a price adjustment considering the Yen at 115 or so to the Dollar. Surprisingly none of the prices had been changed from me having been in there 2 weeks ago. Pulled out my phone and did some calculations. Using dollars the prices were gooooooooood.




Tom the enabler.
