I limit my traveling to domestic destinations and travel by car.

I like to keep it simple. I probably won't do that anymore, but I have done it a couple of times in the past.

I can lock them all up at the bank, now, so I don't have to worry about break-ins while I'm gone.

SkyKing31 · 21 March 2011, 02:53 PM

I only travel with the watch on my wrist .. The rest stay locked up

Launch Mini · 21 March 2011, 03:01 PM

I used to take 4. One one my wrist and three in my travel case. Not any more.
Two years ago our hotel room was ransacked by an inside worker. ( someone made an extra room key and it wasn't one of us. It showed up on the access records as an extra housekeeping visit).
Lucky they left 3 Pannies but took cash and a gold chain from the travel case. I count myself very lucky. Had they been Rolexes I'm sure they would have been gone.
So only he one on my wrist for hotel visits.

Cool, that clears it up!

Sub'erman · 21 March 2011, 11:37 PM

Always travel with a Sub and then one or two others in the bag.
Going North today with a Sub on the wrist and a Pam 106 and a Breitling SOH II in the bag...

erling · 22 March 2011, 12:11 AM

Only one: Sub. and never take it off.
Wouldn´t like to risk keeping extra Rolexes in the hotel room.

z32turbo · 22 March 2011, 12:23 AM

One

psv · 22 March 2011, 12:25 AM

Well, it all depends on where I am going, doesn't it?

Normally, I just go with my SubC on these days. Might bring a G-Shock or Suunto depending on what activities I will be involved in.

Speed · 22 March 2011, 12:27 AM

Sometimes one - sport.
Sometimes Two - Sport and dress.
Sometimes three - Sport, dress and a Nike or G-Shock

krzspeedstr · 22 March 2011, 12:27 AM

Everyone seems to have their own preferences on how many watches they take on their trips. I have some regular guidelines that I follow.

If I am traveling in the US for business one or two.
Pleasure travel in the US and staying with Family/friends then 2 or 3

Overseas travel-
Latin America- One or none depending on the country.
Caribbean- One or Two- depends if staying in hotel or renting a house/condo
Europe- One or two depends the accomodations

1675-David · 22 March 2011, 12:31 AM

If I'm on holiday the watches stay at home. If it's business just one and usually something cheap and plastic. I tend to work in quite poor parts of the world and have learned not to take anything with me that I can't lose or that attracts attention.

rolexertion · 22 March 2011, 12:51 AM

I usually toss in one or two extra. I place the extras in those round Oakley travel storage pouches. I forget who told us about them here, but whoever you are, Thanks!

Btw, I used to say, 'I tend to travel very light, I only take one bag along. By the way, have you met my lovely wife Gertrude?'

We are not together any more.

(213)GMT · 22 March 2011, 01:17 AM

Two, one Rolex for nights out and one Gshock for everything else

joeychitwood · 22 March 2011, 01:22 AM

I wear one watch and carry no spares. If you check the fine print in most hotel contracts, they limit reimbursement for objects lost or stolen from hotel room safes to $250-500.

Puffy · 22 March 2011, 01:31 AM

Just one, usually Sub or GMT

slcbbrown · 22 March 2011, 02:00 AM

I'm a big believer in the idea that your Rolex is safest when on your wrist. Theft or loss are the real risk to my watches. Carrying extra when I travel is not worth the risk. At some point they'll be in a briefcase or hotel room where I will have to leave them, and lots of people will have access to the room.

general · 22 March 2011, 02:07 AM

Only one. I don't wanna have to worry about loss or theft.

Chipmunk · 22 March 2011, 02:29 AM

I usually travel with 2 Rolex and 1 Omega while on vacation.

liptonnr · 22 March 2011, 02:38 AM

I only travel with one! No case, just on my wrist!

theken · 22 March 2011, 02:39 AM

On a vacation, a Rolex and a Casio or Luminox.
On a business trip, a Rolex and a Panerai.

Dan Pierce · 22 March 2011, 02:40 AM

Usually one watch with extra timezone capabilities. Occasionally I'll bring a beater along if hazards are predicted.

Bdel · 23 March 2011, 03:09 AM

two: one for everyday, one for "dress up"

vapalux · 23 March 2011, 03:17 AM

Same as Dan. My trusty Seiko is the beater

favonian · 23 March 2011, 03:29 AM

just one to avoid customs questions like where I got the 2nd one (or 3rd one if I bought one when away)... daytona in general, but a sub is preferred when in 3rd world countries or seriously roughing it
