Taking a grail watch on vacation

Very true

I take two to three all the time.
Currently preparing for a 32 day trip, flying to Sydney then transpacific. For this one, Pepsi and Olive DD are going for the ride.

I took my Sub Date to Las Vegas a few months after getting it.

I had a rather alarming interaction in an elevator but everything turned out ok. Nothing really happened but a dude was asking me about it and as he walked away he advised I “better take care of that watch”.

I haven’t worn it on vacation since… until this week, I wore it to Orlando FL and never received even a glance.

It’s my grail and I want to make memories with it for myself and my family :)

I had this happen in Costco. I inside the warehouse by the large coolers. Guy with a green bezel sub freaked when I complimented him. Had he looked at my wrist he would have noticed my Rolesor Sea Dweller 43. ;-)

I took my ‘22 Air King scuba diving in Thailand and felt totally safe and enjoyed the watch. However, I’ve traveled and gone diving there a lot and had the watch on a NATO strap, so it really flew under the radar.

In July I’ll go paragliding in Colombia but I’m not going to bring the Air King.

People talk about insurance solving all issues, but being the victim of a violent crime is a bigger concern to me. When I travel I’m usually solo and don’t stay in upscale resorts. I mix with the hoi polloi, though I am pretty sensible when it comes to being aware of my surroundings.
