which one to bring on a Tahoe Ski trip

Hey Guys,
Just curious, which one would you bring...
the Hulk has not seen much action, but was reserving that for summer beach trip, but im leaning towards the DSSD.
Not much ski but snowmobile activities will happen, and maybe some snow shoeing..LOL

I know, pretty vain poll here, but I figured, what the heck..
or should I bring along a more disposable piece..?

thanks

I would bring the lvc! Just because

I'm damn jealous you are going snowmobiling in Tahoe. I sold my sled years ago and someday when I get some land I'll have another

Have fun and be safe out there.

LOL, no worries sir, its just a rental...
PLUS they have a 16 year old person limit, so my twin 14 year old sons will have to ride shotgun, which I really despise...:)

I'd go hulk. It probably sits more comfortably under a ski jacket sleeve.

I'd lean towards the hulk. Will fit better under sleeves and coat.

If you wear the hulk you better bring the dssd as well because you will miss it!

I voted the LVc just because it's the one I prefer from the two.
Enjoy your trip.

Travelling with more than one too risky IMHO....

Back on subject, I would set Hulk free in the snow to see what it can do! 😀

I would wear something with a strap under gloves, and dssd for hot tub, drinking and bar duty- lvc would be my go-to summer watch.

The LV is a lower profile watch and less likely to be banged up.

Pretty even for me...but since you said you were leaning toward the DSSD, that's my vote. Enjoy your trip!

So seriously none of you guys being multiple watches (not your entire collection, just a few) on vacations? Of course it depends on where you go. Assuming it's to a nice place in the States or domestic equivalent for those whom live in other nice countries having two or so watches is nice in my opinion. Sometimes during the day I want to use the Sub for the beach but in evenings a nice alligator wrapped Panerai is super comfy and fits the mood. Am I too watch weird for this site?

Hulk. It would be nice to see a little green on the white snow.

Green and snow go pretty good I reckon. The ideal watch here would be the 216570 Polar Explorer II however xD

Hulk.

I work in SF and talked to a client in south Tahoe today. This storm brought them a ton of fresh powder. Lord knows we need it
