This year, I have three options that I have narrowed my choice to:

Rolex sub
Rolex GMT Master 11
Breitling for Bentley Motors

The GMT is my newest and my current fav. What would you choose to take to Mexico?

Gotta go with the GMT. You can go practical and tell all the other watches it's because of the multi time zone feature. That way, no one's feelings are hurt.

Will you be swimming? The sub might be a better option, in case you free dive down to 1000 feet. :)

cgjane · 16 March 2011, 01:24 PM

Sub.

Brentomatic · 16 March 2011, 01:31 PM

I'm leaning towards the GMT. I will swimming a lot but only surface swimming.

bighaole · 16 March 2011, 01:43 PM

then go with the GMT. I've traveled with my Explorer II for years now and I actually appreciate the 2nd timezone hand, and it's plenty fine for swimming/snorkeling.

Without a doubt I would take one of them or you wont know what time it is

GMT For me

Brentomatic · 16 March 2011, 01:58 PM

Would you worry about scratching the polished links?

Absolutely not, I would not give it a second thought. 3 of the 4 of my watches have PCL and I dont give it a second thought... Scratches polish out my friend, wear and enjoy

You've sold me.

Seconded. I don't mind that my PCLs are scuffed up; they have been that way for over two years now. Ten minutes with a polishing cloth takes care of that, but I'm not even concerned or ready to polish.

Where in my beautiful country will you be at?

GMTII, seems to be the one you want to take, make sense go for it.

I would wear the others in the meantime before going on vacation.

darwen · 16 March 2011, 10:11 PM

Mexico ? If you're not taking a bodyguard, how about a $10 casio ?

GerardoG · 16 March 2011, 11:23 PM

I presume it is the Mayan Rivera Maya. If so, SUB! I wear mine daily ( office 20 min away from there)

We stayed by Playa del Carmen, in the Occidental Grand Xcaret.

OP, be sure to check out the Xcaret Park. It has an underground river!

We did some Cenote Diving while down there...Dos Ojos and The Bat Cave.

Awesome vacation.

switch the strap on a Sub or GMT to a Nato, bring down the potential for muggings.

kcmo · 17 March 2011, 02:54 AM

You can't go wrong with any of them. The best part is that you'll be creating memories with one of them!

I wore my SS Daytona to Playa last October and had a ball....whether in the ocean, at the pool, or out at dinner, I enjoyed every minute wearing it!

Have fun and be safe
