Dutchy Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Great question, I was just about the ask the same thing to be honest. I usually travel with one in the suitcase, one in my carry on and one on my wrist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section8 Posted October 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 This is my first trip since i've had more than 1 decent watch. I feel a little nervous having them all with me, but i love to change out watches everyday now that i can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkpadget2 Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I typically go one on the wrist for business (usually Breit Navi SS) , one in the suitcase for pleasure (usually my PAM 217) - domestically. When I go internationally, usually just one - dont like to chance it or give customs a reason to ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goochenbrau Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Usually one on the wrist and one in the suitcase. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antonio Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 So far I usually travel with only one at a time. Saves me from having to bring a winder. I'm lazy like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I travel with one (a Seiko, usually) if I'm leaving Europe. I return with more than one sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

insane Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I have a travelbag with 4 pockets for watches.. + the one on my arm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageRover Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Usually 2. One on the wrist, one in my carry on. Sort of depends where Im going and for how long too. But like jkpadget2 said, if its international, I don't want to give customs a reason to tax me (not that i have ever been stopped by customs, and my passport is almost filled with stamps after having it for only 5 years). For example, imagine having US-customs insist that the 2 Rolexes in your bag are genuine, that you purchased them on your trip, and that they want to charge you 10% duty on the retail price of say... $5000?? After a certain point, why would you need more than 2 watches on a trip? A sport/diver & a dressy watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Day trip - one on the wrist. Overnight - 1+1. Any longer - 1 on wrist and two in case. Hell I bring three when I go away for the weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I'm on a business trip right now and i brought 3 watches with me, my 2 gen TAGs and a rep Breitling Bentley. I"m sitting here bored out of my mind in my hotel room and i was wondering how many of you bring mulitlple watches when you travel? I travel about once a week--usually w/ two watches: one gold, one silver, both of which can hopefully be worn with the business suit and whatever casual clothes I bring. Last week they were a rep TT TOG and the gen JLC Master Hometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crystalcranium Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Genuine on the wrist for the traveling and usually 2 reps wrapped in socks in the carry on. When we go some place where water activities will be on our list, a Seiko diver gets included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narikaa Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 when are we going to see the 30kg of watches from your last trip? Just follow the signature link and you'll see a good few of them! Normal order of things on return: 1. Pre orders 2. Personal sellers/ sales 3. Email to all customers for 'cherry picking' 4. Internet listings Just about finishing # 2 at present . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RageRover Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 I try to keep it under 30 kilos of watches for air travel.... maybe I'm just a coward . I hope you're as lucky getting through customs as I have been! I wonder what you put on that little customs declaration? "sir, is there anything in the bag?" "Nah, just a few watches" lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 Why do I get the odd feeling that the readership of these forums are of a small group of people that would actually carry more than (let alone own more than) one watch. My wife thinks I'm nuts... I'll take two on a weekend camping trip. Of course on almost any trip... the sport/diver and then a more dressy watch. Flying in country.. I just lock any spare watches into my rifle case... they x-ray that but don't (can't) open it. I flew into a nice EU city a few monthes back with my sister... she knows about my habit with the watches.... She was nice enough to place my spares into the Diplomatic Pouch she was carrying... (guess her line of work?)... that easily takes care of customs/import duty issues... I need one of those pouches for my own use... that'd be sweet.

omni Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 In country - normally three for different situations I might happen into; one sports, one dress, one multi-time zone. Any country I have to pass through customs - the same 3 but with the invoices handy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnkaz Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 International travel, one only and not a rep usually my Seamaster. Uk travel two or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marv1n Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 International travel, one only and not a rep usually my Seamaster. Uk travel two or three. It depends - lately I've been traveling with just the 111H and several straps. The PAM's capability for rapid strap changes makes the difference!

Craytonic Posted October 17, 2006 Report Share Posted October 17, 2006 111h, sports watch, timex for gym Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frankt Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 Usually 5 or 6 gen's and 2 or 3 dozen reps.....I never know what mood I'l be in....I have beern on a 6 week trip as we speak, and have only worn 6 or 7 of the 30 or more watches I'm carrying....I've fallen in love with a Pam 192 Titanium on a strap lately, and it's my daily wear these days.....But I'm awaiting a Sub from TTK that'll probably change my life for a week or two!!...Reps make variety practical, and that's... "a good thing"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
