You're crossing time zones, Larry. There will be a point or two when you need to know what time it is at home. Ergo, the GMT is the only way to go.

If you decide to take more than one, I would make sure you complete a customs declaration before you leave.

I nearly had a problem with US Customs on my way back from a Toronto GTG last November. I was carrying 9 expensive watches. I told the Customs agent I had been at a watch afcionados' meeting. He let me through but warned me I should have gotten a registration form. Next time I will do that.

The form you need to complete is CBP 4457. You can find it at: http://www.cbp.gov/linkhandler/cgov/...t/cbp_4457.pdf.

Just follow the easy to follow instructions. The only problem may be finding a customs agent. Get to the airport in plenty of time to locate one.

I would say none and pick up a new one while you're down there.

LouCan · 27 September 2007, 12:43 PM

Returned last month from a Caribbean cruise. Took my TT YM MOP. Wore it 24/7 as in the pics. Any Rolex will do.

Don't wanna picture sweet gray haired grandma's taking pole lessons no

Downing · 27 September 2007, 01:01 PM

Take the Sea-Dweller. Oops, I mean take the Sub No Date. It's the next best thing.

But I don't have one of those....

dude you're going to the Caribbean! Take a sub = water! alot of water time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LouCan · 27 September 2007, 01:13 PM

I felt at home there

Chris B · 27 September 2007, 05:34 PM

Looking sharp Larry,

After eeny, meeny, miney, mo etc I came up with the GMT, whatever you decide will be great.

Have a great trip Larry

BiG JeEzY · 27 September 2007, 05:36 PM

Have a great trip to the Carribean Larry!

I say you bring the TT Sub but the ND Sub definitely goes perfect with the Bond look.

Erix · 27 September 2007, 06:44 PM

Carribean = Water time (Scuba diving)+ Party time --> SUB

SPACE-DWELLER · 27 September 2007, 06:58 PM

Larry, I would take the Sub OP with you, if I were you

Dan Pierce · 27 September 2007, 11:17 PM

GMT! And you better bring pics back with ya'.

dP

Paulie · 28 September 2007, 01:02 AM

The GMT. Two time zones are useful, and the rotating bezel to make sure you are on time returning to the ship, for putting the feed bag on or make a show. :)

watchgeek · 28 September 2007, 01:05 AM

i think the gmt is the way to go for that trip -- that's the one i always take

Tools · 28 September 2007, 01:11 AM

Well...

Some of you have been no help...(imagine that)

Some, too much help...(take 'em all)

And some with more than one suggestion (I mean about the watch)

Right now the surprising numbers look like this..

GMT II - 9

TT Sub - 5

EXP II - 4

Sub ND - 11

So, I'm leaning towards that 14060.....

Think it'll get damaged pole dancing ?

roadcarver · 28 September 2007, 01:16 AM

Hey Larry,

Hope I'm not too late. I missed this thread.

I would go with the no date sub. My reason is it is simple yet elegant, and at the same time you won't really need to keep track of the date when you are on the cruise.

You'll know when the cruise is over :-)

Best,
Vernon

You're never too late Vernon....Well, that is until mid-November....I'm sure Pam will change the packing lists at least a dozen times...

Yep
....When the cruise is over, they even check the cabins twice to make sure you havn't moved in

GerardoG · 28 September 2007, 01:43 AM

SUB!!!!! I live here (when will you be in Cozumel?)

Nice. I'll check to see if Cozumel is on the itinerary. It's been changed so much due to the Hurricanes.

GerardoG · 28 September 2007, 02:31 AM

If it's CALICA, you are about 3 minutes away from me, Cozumel is just a ferry ride away.

JamesS · 28 September 2007, 04:53 AM

If I'm not too late to cast a vote...

I say go with the ND SUB. I too agree that you shouldn't worry what date it is on your trip. Just worry about what time it is so you can make it to those nice dinners and activities!
