Which Watch To Take???

Help me chose a watch to take to Jamaica tomorrow (coming back 01/02/08) please!

We are staying at one of the finer resorts on the island so security is not a big deal although certainly a concern.

I've narrowed the field to one of the GMTII's, the Omega Seamaster 300m or the Hydromax.

Any suggestions??

No need for a dual timezone so any watch you could wear while swimming that still looks great art dinner.
Have fun and don't forget pics,

Jamaica mon.....

It's an island in the Caribbean ... The Seamaster would be right at home..

If it's a Rolex, then the GMT black....look of a Sub, versatility of the GMT, and it is waterproof to 100 meters..

GMTII is a great choice, I was thinking Pepsi since it's got that bright look to it. The Omega on the Tropic silicon strap is really a cool look too.

Then again, the Hydromax is pretty much the king of pressure-proof'dom but not as easily recognized...

I may wear the GMTII (and surprise you with which one) and pack the Omega in my carry-on baggage.

Omega SMP on rubber strap. Then you've got all of the bases covered. And it's enough out-of-the normal that it fits in all cirumstances.

Have a good vacation.

That's what I took when I went to Ocho Rios Jamaica in 2005.

Except that I did not have the rubber strap at the time.
