Heading to to California next week for vacation. I usually take 2 watches, a Rolex and a Seiko diver. Im thinking GMT over my Sub because of the time difference. What do you guys do? Ever take multiple Rolex's?

I think you might be in the wrong section but anyways..

No, only one. Two means one more thing to get lost or stolen. As far as the time difference goes, if I'm on vacation I don't care what time it is back home!

oneillba · 31 May 2008, 02:13 AM

Just the one my wrist.

DSJ · 31 May 2008, 03:09 AM

Just one. I'm going to Mexico in a little over a week, and I'll only be bringing one.

Prince · 31 May 2008, 03:11 AM

Only one, but I try to vary which one it is from vacation to vacation. It usually winds being the GMT because of the multiple time zone feature.

Why 2 ?
Is the Rolex there in case the Seiko packs up , or the other way around!!!???

If your on vacation, who cares about the timezone difference. Take the Sub. I say.

JJ Irani · 31 May 2008, 05:39 AM

One which tells time, I say!!

Mrdi · 31 May 2008, 05:40 AM

ONE,
One I can see at 3 AM
In the dark.
In the wilderness.

Luminox Super Field.
You could use it to read a map.

Launch Mini · 31 May 2008, 06:24 AM

Just one, but take 3 or 4 straps.
Beauty of Panerai.
Rubber in the morning for the pool, leather for relaxed afternoon, croc for evening if needs to be a bit fancier.
Back to rubber for the next morning.

austinsig · 31 May 2008, 09:56 AM

1 watch... safe on my wrist at all times.

Magik · 31 May 2008, 10:03 AM

I used to take two, but now I only take one due to all the security checks at the airports and the increased chances of things getting stolen.

seantk · 31 May 2008, 10:35 AM

I only own one so it is an easy decision

Sean

frostie · 31 May 2008, 10:38 AM

One that could stop the time and prolong my vacation

I have only one watch so i would just get that one

Gedanken · 31 May 2008, 11:57 AM

I used to take the SD and DJ along just for some wardrobe variety, but I've come round to agreeing with Doc - it is just one more bit of kit to check on while you're travelling.

rx5zigen · 31 May 2008, 02:35 PM

Just one to be safe.

astcell · 31 May 2008, 03:43 PM

If you need a watch, it's not a vacation.

If you don't need a watch, you don't have a plane to catch. Yes, yes, it's only a matter of time before someone points out my sig.

Dan Pierce · 1 June 2008, 01:25 AM

On vacation I just bring the GMT. When traveling for work it's the GMT and a Hamilton chrono beater if any heavy lifting is involved.

agreed. one only.

jmjm · 1 June 2008, 01:51 AM

For me, one.

mike · 1 June 2008, 05:04 AM

Usually a GMT and a G-shock that I wear while running.

rpryan55 · 1 June 2008, 07:10 AM

Every hotel I stay in has a safe in the room. I take a watch for every occasion I anticipate - but the best vacations, I only anticipate one.

Numismatist · 1 June 2008, 07:13 AM

The trouble is, I bring one, but am tempted to buy another!

RW16610 · 1 June 2008, 07:33 AM

For me it is one and one only. Will be hard to pick sometimes but not even worth the risk of having one lost or stolen by airport staff or some Hotel worker. Your best bet is to take one that can do everything you need of course to avoid any possible conflict

At the past world cup I did hear a story about some Soccer player who passed Italian customs with two Rolexes and had one taken for some reason, need to fact check that for details though.

Sometimes getting *to* your vacation spot is more work than work.

anfotografix · 8 June 2008, 04:39 AM

I wear my 17 years old Tag, but I alway looking for a chance to bring back some thing else.

pwrslider · 8 June 2008, 06:39 PM
