As I sit at the airport waiting for my connecting flight, I notice that a closeby stanger is wearing a SS GMT (yes, I am a WIS). I am wearing my IWC. Then it hits me: I miss wearing my sub! (Ohhhhh yes, I AM a WIS!

)

Have you ever 'missed' your watch?

mjclark32 · 3 October 2014, 04:15 AM

Good catch Gerardo!

alubin · 3 October 2014, 04:16 AM

I have to admit, thats pretty awesome and I think it looks great on her. I miss wearing my sub almost every time I wear something else. Its becoming a problem.

Rockrolex · 3 October 2014, 04:17 AM

Yes. I miss my Y series all black GMT-II when I'm travelling and not wearing it. Does that make me a WIS, too?

jdmi32 · 3 October 2014, 04:26 AM

I know that's a Chanel purse on the chair. Does that make me a PIS?

Dvenus11 · 3 October 2014, 04:32 AM

Uh...I think we knew you were a WIS before today, Gerardo.

Seriously, I think we would have been disappointed if you hadn't noticed.

And yes, I have often "missed" my watch when someone sitting nearby in the airport or plane has on one of "mine".

Time Exposure · 3 October 2014, 04:58 AM

I would rather miss my watch in the safe at home, than miss it in the hands of a thief in a foreign land!
I'm not planning travel for a while (returned from Italy in June), but I think (at this moment) I would wear my (fill-in-the-model) nice watch on holiday. I think I'm aware enough to avoid volatile environments that would place me or my watch in danger. But ask me the day before I'm scheduled to travel again!
BTW, in Italy I wore a very sweet vintage Omega Speedmaster 321 (105.012-66 CB for those who speak Speedy). Never regretted taking it, and enjoyed it every day there!

SWISSAHOLICS · 3 October 2014, 04:59 AM

Nice catch G

Kingair · 3 October 2014, 05:04 AM

Great G . . . WIS !

Brian Page · 3 October 2014, 05:34 AM

I have to admit I've sat up way too late the night before a trip trying to figure out which one is going with me - it's a sickness

T01 · 3 October 2014, 05:37 AM

Nice catch!

FlyinM3 · 3 October 2014, 05:39 AM

Love the GMT and Chanel 1.55, but that carrier has to go!

aaamax · 3 October 2014, 05:46 AM

Not to be an idiot, but I thought that it was a rocker-dude in the Sky Lounge.
It is funny when a certain watch gets under your skin like that. I used to be that way with my old Anonimo until I rediscovered my even older 16710. We are a strange breed indeed.
Cheers to that.

Invictus Maneo · 3 October 2014, 09:02 AM

Sorry, Gerardo.........We already KNEW you were a WIS, and a WIS with very good taste in watches , food, wine, liquor, and cigars!!!!!!

I've been wondering where your 16613 has been hiding? That used to be your exclusive travel watch. Nothing wrong with changing things up though

.

GradyPhilpott · 3 October 2014, 09:03 AM

I do begin to miss a particular Rolex, even if I'm wearing another Rolex and when I'm not wearing a Rolex, I sometimes miss wearing one.

I try to enjoy each of my watches for what they are, even if it's just a $20 S&W or a $60 Seiko 5.

I started the day with my BLNR and decided that it was time for the Sub, so I switched out and it really feels good on my wrist.

superdog · 3 October 2014, 09:05 AM

Ur just realizing now?

C'mon....admit it ...... You have known for a while.

I am doing a rotation so watches I don't wear often get some wrist time.

rmfnla · 3 October 2014, 11:24 AM

Yada yada yada; you're a WIS, I'm a WIS; that's why we spend inordinate amounts of time on TRF!

As to missing my Rolex, as nice as the IWCs are I never go out without my beloved TT DJ.

Safe travels, my friend...
