I'm curious how many of you travel with more than one watch? Heading off to San Fran and Napa Valley for a week in the spring with my wife, and I am tempted to bring both Rolexes with me. GMT for excursions during the day and DateJust for dinner is my thought.

What do the rest of you TRF'ers do?

SWISSAHOLICS · 11 February 2013, 05:05 AM

TT Daytona for weekdays & nights and business meetings. Sub-C for weekends!!

connorperson · 11 February 2013, 05:06 AM

the only concern I would have about bring more than one would be thieves

with 1 it can stay on the wrist but if that is not a credible concern then I say you have a good plan with the GMT and DJ

T.S.Eliot · 11 February 2013, 05:07 AM

Depends on the destination, but usually take 2 to 3 watches.

TSW · 11 February 2013, 05:10 AM

Depends on both were Im going and for how long.

Exactly. Typically 2-3 depending on duration and location.

joe100 · 11 February 2013, 05:10 AM

The one on my wrist. Especially if airports and overseas travel is involved.

Same. No reason to risk losing the watch I am not wearing. I wear the watch I deem most appropriate for the type of trip I am going on.

+1

I work with some real watch freaks who bring multiple watches to meetings but I don't want to mess with that. The 15300 works in nearly every situation as do the Daytonas. If I'm not wearing a suit it might be a PAM 111. If it's going to rough and tumble - G Shock, baby!

ath1212 · 2 March 2013, 08:43 PM

Travelling overseas l take one, because 8 out 10 times l'll buy a watch while l'm away and saves me customs duties buying online. Travelling with in Australia just one.

Rolexman28 · 11 February 2013, 05:24 AM

1 watch

Watchmutt · 11 February 2013, 05:26 AM

One watch. I usually bring camera equipment and other electronics along, so I don't want to worry about looking after an extra watch.

yOyOYoo · 11 February 2013, 05:28 AM

1 on the wrist. My only Rolex... for now!

Widows Son · 11 February 2013, 05:29 AM

2-3. A beater for outdoor activities, a date or AK for casual, and something nice on a strap for dress.

Rashid.bk · 11 February 2013, 05:32 AM

My SD or PO on my wrist and a Pathfinder or Suunto for running, exercising and stuff.
So two and only if the stay is longer than a week, otherwise just one.

CharlieSheen · 11 February 2013, 05:32 AM

depends on which country/hotel/activities/days stayed :) Although I have brought up to 8 for a 7 day trip :) ha ha

thomaspp · 11 February 2013, 05:33 AM

Just 1. Too much hassle/worrying to make it worth while

Dr. Robert · 11 February 2013, 05:35 AM

I wouldn't worry about Napa, there are some dubious areas of San Francisco, but most tourists don't go there......bring both watches.

Darlinboy · 11 February 2013, 05:39 AM

I travel with one. Which one varies, but one only.

ecsub44 · 11 February 2013, 05:41 AM

1

Speeding911 · 11 February 2013, 05:46 AM

Wrist + 2. 16710 116520 PAM covers all occasions.

padi56 · 11 February 2013, 05:47 AM

You only need one watch to tell you the time so cannot see any point in taking any more.

VICI · 11 February 2013, 05:49 AM

<---- Boring

Usually I travel with just 1.

Would rather not have to think about it - usually I'll take my Breitling Chronomat Evolution -- it'll TT so it goes with everything.

I've traveled recently with my DDII, but it was for a business trip so I took it for the reason.

mldaytona · 11 February 2013, 05:49 AM

My travelling companion.

porschejeff · 11 February 2013, 05:51 AM

only the one on my wrist when traveling. Sometimes a cheap timex for working out golf etc if I have access to a safe in the room.

Roller07 · 11 February 2013, 05:56 AM

Depends on where I am going and what I am doing.

Sometimes my travels call for 1 watch and sometimes more than one.

mcorliss · 11 February 2013, 05:58 AM

2 during a recent trip to DC, and bought another while there. Did make me a little nervous though given they were a new Daytona, YM Blue, and bought a 16610LV = $30K. During my next trip to the Caribbean, I may bring none, as I always worry about security in a foreign land. The other thing is that the watches are still new enough that I don't want them to get saturated in lotion, sand, and salt water...but that is just the OCD in me talking. Actually searching for a good tool watch now.
