Wow, guys, I did not think I would get so many suggestions. Thanks, it is appreciated.

Similar to all threads such as this one, with so many opinions, it doesn't really help to clear things up.

I suppose it really was an exercise in futility.

Bottom line for me, I don't get to wear the YM nearly as much as I would like to. And with its rubber strap and sporty style, I think it is the perfect watch for this occasion.

Really though, I agree with all of you (especially Mick, as I really am toast and NEED a few days of R&R) but all of these watches are absolute winners and I would not go wrong bringing any of them.

Brings me back to my long standing argument with Rolex. Why do they have to make such damned awesome watches?????

Neil, I love that idea.

You know, I do plan on going all out for this trip. When we go away, it's always for long weekends as I don't like to be away from the office for too long.

So the flight, 1st class (boy do I love flying 1st class)
Staying at the Ritz
And now I'm thinking for certain about renting a yacht for the day. As long as the weather permits. But that's a damned good idea for Friday.

Go with nothing and will force you to buy another one on vacation...knowing you though, maybe I shouldn't suggest this.

You need a gold watch for the sunshine! Not to mention a rubber strap for the sweat.

But you suggested it anyway?

Truly, not in the market for a new watch these days. But yeah, knowing me, you never can tell.

Bring them all. No sense forcing yourself to make this tough decision.

I just checked the weather report.

Not a heck of a lot of sunshine predicted. So the boat is out too.

Oh well, as my wife just said "alcohol works indoors as well".

Sub, you will fit right in here. Really popular watch among boaters in Florida. Plus with the glidelock you'll be able to make the necessary adjusts to compensate for the heat and humidity when you are outside.

I love it Seth! I'm going to the Ritz myself for a celebration dinner here next month, but alas no yachting here, even tho the weather is nice, so think of us Brits if weather permits you to ride the waves, sailor.

RG YM is the best choice. I think that the matte bezel and rubber strap make it an under the radar watch.

Sub! If not that, then you'll fit in nicely in FL with a DD.

Enjoy ~ remember Florida rain isn't like up here. It rains for 20 minutes and then back to the sunshine! Rent the yacht.
