Good luck with finding the Pepsi! Post pics if you track one down.

Also, if you have any good dining recommendations while you're there let me know

One Rolex. I travel every week and take the Rolex that happens to be on my wrist.

It will stay on my wrist 24/7.

I did try on the new Rolex Rose Gold GMT Rootbeer. It was gorgeous. Wife said buy it but I passed.

How many watches do you travel with?

One watch is enough for travel. I like to keep anything I have to carry as light as possible.

Depends on where I am going and what I am doing. If I can get away with it one...most of the time 2-3.

One watch and that is what Rolex is good at. Depending on where I am going, my LVc or DJ2 has all my activities covered.

Merci Bien!

The RG GMT looks really special in photos. Was there something about it in person that didn't push you over the edge?

2 nicer watches for evenings and a seiko diver/g shock for pool/beach. I go to the same place most years and there are safes there.

My insurance covers them both in person and in safe when on hols. When in the airport, they go in my hand luggage.

My wife thinks I’m an idiot, but I wouldn’t like to spend 2/3 weeks with only one watch.

One. I guess I’m a fashion shlub and watches aren’t part of my attire.

I’m on holiday at the moment & left my watches at home. Sure they’d be perfectly safe but i’m On holiday - want to enjoy myself, jump in/ out of the pool, have a few beers & maybe a break from watches too. I’ve a seiko skx007 which usually acts as my holiday watch but for this trip went with my Casio ae-1200wh. It’s got 5 time zones, an alarm for the morning, a count down timer for timing my other 1/2 on her sun lounger, water proof to 100m if want to wear it in the pool & best of all cost me £20 from Amazon about 4 years ago & still going strong with its 10 year battery.

Always another option ;.)

One. I could see a reason if someone bought 2 but doubt I could ever justify more than that (even if going on a long trip).

I take between 1-3. If I'm renting a house/townhouse I'll almost always take 3. If I'm in a hotel that I know has a safe I'll take 3. If I'm staying at a hotel and I'm not sure there's a safe I'll bring just one. I have a 3 watch roll that I bring. I generally keep it in my carry-on bag. I have NEVER had to remove my watch when going through security so it's a non-issue for me.

I am just not a Rose Gold guy.

I have a YG Sub and my TT SkyDeweller.

I want a SS Watch next.

I only travel with the one I’m wearing.

I’d be a stress ball worrying about where to secure my watches while traveling.

Given no safe, I'd only take one. The last thing I want to worry about when I'm traveling is where my extra watch is.

I'm a litte more conservative. My thinking for any trip is that anything I would never want to lose, I don't bring. Less stress I guess... works for me so far.

1 or 2 depending on the destination. I went on a cruise to Mexico and once we got off the ship the BLNR went in the safe and the beater came out. The BLNR is my go to watch when I travel. Have fun!

DO YOU TRAVEL WITH WHERE.... should be the rest of that question.
Third World Countries like Jamaica? No Watch.
Sketchy places like Cancun - 1 Watch and I'm not leaving Ritz Carlton.
Swanky places like Vegas (come on, full suite, suits, shows, dinners and gambling, not buffet tank top free show vegas) I'd bring 1 for the gym, 1 for the tables (bust-down day date), 1 for the shows and dinners.

Nice!

They might look at me funny when out for dinner at a nice Parisian Bistro.
