Pugwash Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I have found that when travelling, I seem to pick the same three watches every time. click for 1600px wallpaper version While I take the Planet Ocean off the steel and put it on leather (rubber doesn't fit in my two-watch travel case), the rest are all as pictured. What watches do you find yourself travelling with? Share pictures if possible, piease.
scotty Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Hi Pug. Business trips the UPO (same as yourself, although currnetly it's injured) or PAM196 (7753 with lume job) on BOB black gator. Occasionally a PAM127. But I find it's too big for buz. trips and looks wrong. Holidays - Seamaster pro (gen black face) and a PAM - 196, 250 or 127.
b16a2 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I only take the one with me, and it's always the Swiss SFSO. It was on the rubber strap for Kos, but thought I'd go for the leather for Gran Canaria in August...
Stephane Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Well, last time I traveled it was these ones: Next time I have no idea but my top choices would currently be at least these ones: Cheers Stephane
arminvanbuuren Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 hey.. both of u with the UPO.. can i ask something.. does ur bezel come like that originally? or you changed it? because your bezel pearl looks very good (very close to the gen) in ur UPO.. where as mine is too recessed (means the pearl is too deep inside the ring).. do you guys know where i can find a replacement bezel? i talked to andrew but he wouldnt replace it :S.. anyway my 3 choices are the same as u pugwash UPO blackbezel/orangenumbers, Steelfish blue dial (both ETA) and also 3717 (going to rob next month)..
Pugwash Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 where as mine is too recessed (means the pearl is too deep inside the ring).. do you guys know where i can find a replacement bezel? The pearl is built into the bezel, not the insert. I've not heard of anyone selling replica replacement bezels.
arminvanbuuren Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 The pearl is built into the bezel, not the insert. I've not heard of anyone selling replica replacement bezels. ohh ok thats fine.. would the gen bezel fit? im guessing ofrei sells them right?
Pugwash Posted July 30, 2007 Author Report Posted July 30, 2007 ohh ok thats fine.. would the gen bezel fit? im guessing ofrei sells them right? A replacement PO rep is cheaper. No-one has worked out of the gen bezels fit as far as I know.
piratedzeus Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Sent the watch to a modder and have the pearl relumed...maybe with a dial relume done and a set of gen hands fitted?
arminvanbuuren Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Sent the watch to a modder and have the pearl relumed...maybe with a dial relume done and a set of gen hands fitted? would this raise the pearl? ohh and from bytor's review i heard the ultimate version has a correct hand now so i dont need to change it to the gen right? and puggy ur right.. a replacement PO is cheaper i cant believe i even thought of getting a gen bezel
eunomians Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Essentially thee only one I ever travel with:
deltatahoe Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 i'm about to spend the next seven weeks traveling for work (being gone from home for two week stretches), so this question is extremely relevant to me at the moment. for the first two week stretch of the trip i'm guessing i'll probably bring the following: -063 on prada and (i'll also bring a spare brown mario paci strap) -breitling steelfish on stainless steel (can't believe how much i like this one, particularly the bracelet) -iwc costeau diver (it was a tough choice for the last spot in the watch case) btw, when actually traveling i'll be wearing one watch and keeping the other two in this great two watch case i got off ebay -- the quality of this case (particularly the inside) is top notch. deltatahoe ps, sorry for no pictures pugwash -- i was hoping to snap some shots of the new breitling steelfish superocean this weekend, but just didn't get a chance....maybe i'll take a pic of the three watches & watch case tonight and come back and post it here
P4GTR Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Good question Pug. I just got back from Mexico and the Cayman islands. Although my selection isn't as vast as some of you, these are the two that came along:
Dani Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I travel like this always the Breit Emergensy on my wrist.
Corgi Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I like to travel with my most accurate rep, SMP chrono, because its the most realistic. Yes. That was redundant. I'm tired... sue me.
eunomians Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Gotta love the 1675: two timezones, and the added bonus of a compass (but only in the northern hemisphere).
Leifhaus Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 I'm on vacation in San Diego right now, and in the water 3 times a day and then bathing the kids, more water, either with my 42 orange PO and MBW Great White. Sorry no pix but these watches are waterproof!!!!
