Icon10 What to wear for one whole year in QingDao, China?

hi fellow members,

I'll be leaving HongKong to work in QingDao(nothern China city) very soon. It would take a year there and I have a hard time deciding which watch I should be wearing there. QingDao is one of the most beautiful city in China, it held part of the Olympic games last year. Beaches and girls are nice too

Sub 16610: My first Rolex watch, if there is only one watch I could own in this world, it will be my sub. However I'm worried about getting robbed in China so I never wear my most expensive watch there.




Tudor 79260: My poorman's daytona, this watch gets the most attention. One problem I have is that it's not comfortable to wear than others, the watch itself sits higher and it moves around on my tiny wrist. It would be difficult to wear for one whole year.




Air King 14000: My daily beater in southern China, it's very realiable and understated. It's amazing to look at the blue dial in sunlight. I just afraid it doesn't have enough fire power(wearing satisfaction) for 1 year up there.



Bond Seamaster: The doom-shaped crystal is my favorite part. The braclet is very solid and comfortable. I could wear this to QingDao's beautiful beaches, however, it started to slow down a bit, losing 7~8 second daily now, I worry it will break during my stay in QingDao.





I like Tsingtao Beer



Matt

Can you bear not seeing your Sub for a year? I say enjoy it, but I understand your dilemma.

Take the Air King, it does not scream 'Rolex'
