Which Rolex to bring on vacation?

[JePro]

SD4K tough, versatile enough.

[dbleoh7]

I would say don't wear any of them if you are unfamiliar with the areas. You don't want to make yourself a target for criminals.

Is the GMT waterproof? Do you have any need for its complication? If the answers aren't determinative for this one, flip a coin.

I’d take the sd4k or hulk, I’m currently in Bali Indonesia and haven’t taken My SubC off

Anything is fine for exploring the Caribbean as a tourist. Mostly you'll be in resort-style destinations, on the beach, on a tour bus, with affiliated taxi/drivers, etc. You'll be safe in those places.

It's when you're going for a week and really plan on getting into the culture and local areas that you run the risk of sticking out and becoming a target.

I've been on over 20 cruises and have never felt unsafe in the Caribbean. But if I were going on a solo trip to Jamaica and staying at a small local hotel I would leave the Rolex watches at home.

The Hulk. A lot of fun to wear and the dial is amazing.

In the Caribbean, don't take anything that will make someone think about ending your life to advance theirs.......I lived in the Bahamas in the 90s. Your life is not very important to them....your watch is.

Caribbean, and them?

That’s a blanket statement if ever I’ve heard one.

Hulk.

I have the same choice facing me, I'm going to Italy in 3 weeks and I have to choose between the SD43 or the Explorer.

I believe I'm leaning towards the Explorer as it is more under the radar.

[tiberiustime]

Have all three and take my hulk when going to sunny spots!

These “which of my $10,000 watches should I take on my $10,000 vacation to the 3rd world” might be part of what motivates the terrorists.

Honestly. Get over yourself.

Not true, do not fear monger someone. Cruise safes usually only can be opened by a supervisor or the hotel manager. If you have a problem with the safe they will not touch it without you in the cabin and make you sign a work order they were there for the safe. There are cameras in every hallway on a cruise, if there was a theft they could go back and identify who it was as soon as it was reported. If there is even an accusation of theft against a crew member they are dumped off at the next port. It’s not worth the risk for them, who are mostly from other counties making very good money compared to their home country, to risk that sort for short sidedness.

It’s short sightedness.

Will be travelling to NYC and onboard a cruise to Caribbean islands.
SD4K is the least flashy piece, draw least attention. Good for swimming in the Caribbeans.
Old Batman is shinny, the polished links catch eyeballs.
Hulk is for the sea. For sure it looks great while sunbathing on cruise.

Difficult choice though. Any thoughts? Thanks.

GMT would be the easy choice for me. Love having the dual time function.

Finally bringing SD4K and a G-Shock.

LVc for sure easy pic.

[jimcameron]

Breitling Emergency. It has a built in PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) built into the watch, just in case you take a dive off the fantail of the ship, and then change your mind.

[woof]

Batman !!!!

[quakeroatmeal]

Anyone who is recommending traveling to La Perla is crazy. Don't listen to them.

Better to be safe than sorry.

[mjclark32]

LV, it can handle whatever you want and it has the color for fun

[mightymikmike]

Bring a Tudor peli for diving.
