Traveling with Multiple Watches

Wanting to take a couple of my Rolex's on my next trip. What do people use to carry watches that are not in use while traveling? I would like to have one of my sport watches for the day and my Daytona for night. Thanks!!

I know this doesn't answer your question but my comment is that in the past I did travel with multiple watches. I no longer do, just the on one my wrist. It's so much less fuss, bother and worry.

I have a CaseBudi - 3 watch travel case — thats made out of ballistic nylon — works super well - and inexpensive.

I’d recommend Hodinkee shop and Bosphorus leather

Just take the Daytona only, it’s a sports watch

I use the Oakley Watch Vault when travelling with two watches.

I always travel with a nice watch but never with multiple nice watches.

Hotel safes only keep the honest people out.

I hire body guards that double as my watch storage.

This is the biggest problem. On the wrist is the only safe place.

A hotel safe is about as safe as putting your watch in a shoe when you go swimming on the beach.

Traveling with Multiple Watches

I recommend the custom Louis Vuitton steamer trunk. Complete with battery powered winders. You don’t want to rough it on vacation without all your watches. Well, your favorite 70 anyway.

I travel with one watch. The headache, fear of loss and, desire to reduce complication in my life, helps with that decision. Also, “absence makes the heart grow fonder”, so you get back and like your other watches more

Thanks for all the feedback. You are right, most of the Rolex's in my collection can not be replaced, so I guess I will travel with just one:)

First off, a Daytona is a Sports watch

Two watches? Answer: 2 wrists.

In travel mode wear them both.
At hotel roll the one you’re not going the wear into a sock as mentioned earlier and pop it into the hotel room safe.

If I'm travelling and staying in hotels I only travel with one and I wear it all the time. I don't take it off to shower or sleep like I would usually do at home.
Taking it off and leaving it down you run the risk of forgetting it and leaving it behind or leaving it out at the wrong moment for a opportune thief.
If it's on your wrist the whole time those things cannot happen.

I pop each of my watches into a mini digital camera pouch. They are the perfect size for my DJ, GMT and Sub. It is nicely padded simple and cheap. Also no risk of watches rubbing against each other which can happen with some multi watch soft carry cases.

Same here - just the watch on my wrist. Less hassle. Less worry.

I wouldn’t take two unless you are staying in a very secure hotel. It’s stressful traveling with 2 imo!
