Horological Meandering

Confidence – it’s a special relationship to have with anything. And when it comes to mechanical objects, be they watches, cars or other ‘tools’, it’s relatively rare. But the Rolex 5513 is a watch that I have developed enormous confidence in. This is no m...  

. . . my G O Karree PanoDate . . . . . . and the Zenith El Primero . . . . . . both of which have been completely reliable. The Zenith did have to return for adjustment to the hour totalizer, but has been steady ever since. Both run extremely well, with t...  

But this one is selected to all of my long distance trips: Notice that I don't do any hard physical activities. The AMVOX 1 is sporty and social enough for me and, as far is my experience, is 100% reliable and precise. Cheers, Nilo...  

variations of only a +-couple-three seconds a day that average out to about the same over an extended period. Not bad for a 35 year-old-watch. Seeing that Omega put a quartz module in the new Flightmaster reissue, it may also do as well ;-)...  

For confidence, I have a non haute horologie piece in Casio Protrek. Been thru all kinds of hell with me. cheers PAt

This one goes where I go, Most of my other watches are vintage, and are just too delicate requiring too much care to burden myself with on trips. With the GMT master, I don't need to think about sweating into the leather strap, sweating into the watch, ge...  

If I have to take only one watch for a long trip I would certainly take my Triple 6. Over any other Vintage Rolex, because it is still water resistant. Now, if I don't have to plan any water activities, I would take the 6542 with me, and / or any of my Vi...  

Love it since more than ten years! Regards, Marcus...  

I love that it is living life outside the watchbox! Cheers, Daos

this piece, it is thin and fit my occasions while traveling. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/840/img1089cn.jpg/][IMG=http://img840.imageshack.us/img840/4117/img1089cn.jpg][/IMG][/URL] Uploaded with [URL=http://imageshack.us]ImageShack.us[/URL]...  

and defined on your comments, it would need to be a 1665 (or 1680) for me. Never goes wrong....built like a tank and looks great.......  

Yes, 100% agreement on that..... great question. Love the way that AP and the UN look.... thanks for sharing. Rishad

Submariner 116610LN . Bulletproof. Deadly Accurate (+ or - 1-second-per-day). Built like a Tank. Classy. Comfortable. The last "desk diver" I'll ever need....  

Those are great watches, and I've heard the new ones like yours are even better. I have a way older cousin that overall, is probably the single watch I would go to for it's durability / simple classic looks etc.

16800 with original matte dial Although the VC you sold me has I dare say become my favorite. With the leather strap, it's just not as practical for the upcoming summer months unfortuantely....

It's my go anywhere, do anything watch (and the GMT complication is great). I will put it through its paces in the jungles of Borneo next January. DJK Cheers, Daniel...  

i would choose 1 of 3 the railmaster an easy go to watch. an ultra accurate 24 hour dual time zone. another ultra accurate, bomb proof watch with a different look. what no rolex ???? G...  

Hi All Have to say I have confidence in a large number of my watches, I also tend to wear two at once to confuse matters even more. MasterMoon Oris Big Crown Plastic diver I would also include my futurematic while being 50 plus years old runs very well an...  

This is a watch, that as many have mentioned in this thread, when traveling you don't want to have to worry about either damage to your watch or its reliability. For me mostly the damage as I hate to bang up against and wall or toss a bag into the trunk a...

there is no ALL-IN-ONE watch in my opinion. For rugged activities, I use my Casio Pro-Trek for its lightness, reliability and comfort. For the rest of the days, I wear my watches interchangably for various occasions. They are all reliable until they stop ... 

... my trustworthy JLC Master Compressor Automatique... I couldn't believe how sturdy it is until I've been bumping it around all sorts of hard surfaces, including dropping it onto the ground a few times! I would have no doubt on wearing this for those "r... 

.... of my watches, this one.... Can wear anywhere for any occasion, anti-mag, water resistant, etc.... And accurate - 10 sec per year. Yeah, yeah, yeah, not a mechanical watch, but if we talk about confidence all around, this would be the one. Ken...  

... Confidence and Reliability go hand to hand. Watches are a good example, of how its reliability makes us so condident. I wouldn´t doubt to choose any of my Rolex as an example. Sometimes I view rather amazed how an old 50 or 60 years old Rolex movement...

After 4 years of heavy usage (diving, cycling, kite-surfing, rockclimbing .... partying), it never let me down and I have the impression it will not let me down for a long time Damo...
