If it was me, I would take the Batman and the Sinn. The Batman goes with pretty much any attire, and is perfectly suited for nice restaurants as well (especially on the bracelet ;-)

If the BLNR attracting unwanted attention is a concern due to the travel destination, then I would take the Sinn and the Habring2. The Sinn is perfect for water activities, and the Chrono Felix can be dressed up and down as required (perhaps consider e.g. having two different straps for it, one dressy and one casual).


Just my take on it - needless to say it's best to do what feels right to you.

Travel woes.

Finally-going on a family vacation after 18 months of being at home, no thanks to the pandemic. Just not sure which two watches to take with, and wanted advice for the clarification well-traveled purists My recent Independents (Kudoke K2 and Habring2 chro...  

Love your Kudoke and Habring a lot .

Two gorgeous beauties but not very sporty or outdoor watches . The AP and Rolex are getting to much unwanted attention so the logical choice would be the Longines and the Sinn imho

Wonderful suggestion. It helps that the habring2 is my latest and dearest to me.

Don’t have a black strap for it…yet

Where are you getting your shirts from, really like the fabric in the first picture and the blue/white striped one.

Thank you. I’m not a big dress shirt aficionado.

The first picture is my white coat (hospital attire), and the blue and white one is from an Italian store called Boggi.

Thank you! The coat actually looks really good as well, I've got a thing for thicker fabrics. But a coat like that isn't casual wear haha.

Most Sin(n)s happen in the evening, so your timing is off😂😜.

Wonderful suggestion, but the AP is out of commission and headed for a much-needed service

If you manage to bring 3 (since the AP need to be serviced) I would definitely bring the K2 or the H2, and then maybe your sinn if you plan on swimming!

The K2 I find with your strap combo shown is refined, yet understated, classy yet can pass for casual!

I’m delighted to see the H2 and Sinn getting the majority of the votes.

Especially for a nuanced collector such as yourself.

They are two great watches!

And so are the rest of the choices you gave us!

I was super confident that you’d pick the omega.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : July 16th, 2021-11:35
Turns out I was wrong

hehehe...i know...it was next on my list!

Depends on where you are headed.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : July 16th, 2021-10:44
The safe choices are the Sinn and one of the two Indies if you need to be a little more serious. Enjoy the vacation. Like you I’m well overdue one but it doesn’t seem like it will happen this year for me.

Thanks!

Keep your hopes up and your passport up-to-date, these vacations can spring up on you.

I am all too familiar with your dilemma….

 
 By: mrds : July 16th, 2021-11:08
in fact I made a similar post a while back for a trip to Japan. Gorgeous collection you have here - I especially love the Kudoke paired with that strap. Superb combo! For the trip I‘d pack one sturdy low key piece such as the Sinn or Omega, and the AP tha... 

Yeah, I remember your post.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : July 16th, 2021-11:15
Alas, that Japan trip continues to elude me. I’m headed to SF and LA. And as much as I’d like to show off my K2, I worry that I’d always be underdressed for it. I do plan to stop by the FPJ and Lange boutiques though, so the K2 would feel at home with the... 

Take it easy, my friend

Not many bad choices you can make, with your collection 👌🏻

I would take the Omega or Sinn

The colors and overall personalities lend themselves to a happy vacation I would think. Whatever you choose, have a great time with the family!

Mashkoor!

And you make a good point about the summer vibes of the omega and Sinn. Still waiting on the wrist shots of your latest 😉
