Nov 4 - Pre-pack planning

What is one supposed to pack for a 3 day road trip to Toronto
On the nightstand

Nightstand, Pag2 2

4 of the Pannies

All Squeeze in for a family shot


Hang on, forgot Little Bro Tudor


Trial run on the packing, but poor Sub was left out


Option 2, is just take the one on my wrist that day?

Should you choose Option 2, John, you will be ostracized, shunned and refused admittance to this august gathering.

I just need to think of a good story when I go through the metal detector at the airport.

I say bring them all - if you want to leave the sub behind that's fine with me.....

Nice case! Glad you found one that will work for you - my new case arrived yesterday but I haven't had time to give it a trial run yet (and it doesn't hold nearly as many as your case does!).

You can always set one for each time zone you are going through. Tell them it is too tough to keep resetting the same watch.

Ask the pilot to announce when he crosses a time zone so you can change watches.

Nice cases John!

You'll have to disinfect your arms and put on long plastic gloves before I'll let you near them.

I'm going to Tucson for a week on Wednesday and I suspect I'll bring the LV, the SD, and a beater. That's what I did last year and it worked out great, alternating the Rollies...

Is that a 111 (still learning the names) on the gold strap there? I'll take that one off your hands if you like? Then you can fit that Rad in the middle in it's place , I'll give that baby a great new home.. promise

The white one = 113
Next is the 005. Similar to the 111 but has the small logo on the dial
The 210 Rad in the middle
Next is the 104 with the date
Sub -duh
Then my favorite , the 98

Thanks for the run down. They are a confusing brand to get the hang of.

Is it more difficult to change the straps on the Rads due to the different springbar/lugs???

Yeah but once you get the numbers, it's a beautiful thing. Great case John... Kurt will be at the GTG too (kurt sold John the case).

You can always leave one panny behind to make them all fit in the case for the return trip. I'll take good care of whatever you choose to leave behind. LOLOL

For changing the Rad strap, Not any harder.
Just more screws.
The first time, it took me a bit longer,as I was warned NOT to completely remove the 4 screws holding in the "wires".
I know know that 3.5 turns will loosen them enough to remove the wires very easily.

If your serious Mike, PM me. I have the Mini Sub Tudor & the wife has the matching smaller one.
I would have to ask her if it's okay to let them go, but let me know.

John I have a colleague who would be interested in taking the 104 off your hands. Interested?

Mini - I saw a Rad 183 Black Seal at the used dealer where i got my GMT from. WOW magnificent and so much nicer in the flesh than photos... huge at 45mm but its only 13mm thick so that makes it where a bit smaller... well maybe not smaller but you know what i mean.

Very nice indeed......... a bit pricey tho at $5700AU for a used one from Dec last year.

I always like the 104, but would rather have it on a SS bracelet.
