Spending a few days in the Carmel by the sea area, taking only one watch, help choose

Hey guys, happy 2022 to all, health and happiness. Driving in the morning to be by the water for a few days. Taking only one watch. Which one would cover best in your opinion, a nice dinner, and some beach time. I am sure any would do but there’s always one that has a bit more to offer. Salud

I like that 2-liner. Classy and low key.

Bluesy! Perfect for the beach or casual daytime activities, also very dressy for the evenings out. Blue since you're near the sea? Make sure to stop by Fourtané too while you're in the area. :)

I'd take whatever U want..not some sub dictating your personal choice. In all honesty, you can wear a cheap Timex and no one would notice nor comment.

Well other than that helpful post, I'd take the two tone blue face..

You’re going to the beach in Carmel in January? I’d recommend a coat.

Number two, the bluesy of course. But the YM is a very close 2nd.

Actually, I once was going to stay at the Inn at Spanish Bay. The clerk at the front desk noticed my cheap Timex when checking in and moved my reservation to the Quality Inn in Monterrey. Wear the Yacht-Master.

Yes. And a raincoat in case. Check out From Scratch for a great Brunch. Also Little Napoli on Dolores St for Italian. Stop by Fourtané and ask for Rosa. She’s awesome. I’d go with the Rolesor but that’s me.
