One vacation watch.
By: fernando : June 24th, 2019-19:54
For my upcoming trip to SE Asia, I have decided to just bring one watch, which I will be wearing throughout my travels. One reason is to bond with it for about 3 weeks and another is to be worry free, when it comes to luggage and hotel safes. I have narro...

Thanks for your response.

Pros for the Omega would be the following: light and comfort on the wrist, less conspicuous and great lume.
Precisely! . . .

. . . it's just that some decisions take longer than others ;-) . . .
Tough call, Fernando...

But that Seamaster is just begging to be taken on an adventure Enjoy your travels, my friend! All the best, Alex
Easy pick.. i vote for Omega
By: Fjan : June 24th, 2019-22:09
that ceramic bezel on the omega can take a lot more beating. Wish you a pleasant trip to Asia and remember to keep hydrated at all time. 🥂 Jen
That must be the Omega...

She was made for this trip and will stay just as beautiful. Enjoy your time there! Nici
A tough choice indeed....
By: FlyingSnoopy : June 24th, 2019-22:27
probably the omega as it would stand more against scratches.... But both would be a great companion
Another vote for the Seamaster

It will be also a better fitting choice for evening wear. Have a safe and nice trip.

Two ergonomical issues
By: Marcus Hanke : June 25th, 2019-00:47
First, the black luminova on the AP is practically useless in the dark. Here the Omega is miles ahead. Second, the rotating bezel/ring. I use it many times a day as a convenient chronograph alternative. Consequently, I hate fiddling around with a second c...
Valid points Marcus.

Agree the Omega's lume is just tops and lasts throughout the night whilst the AP's is no where to be seen. Regarding the bezel, for ease of use, the Omega wins. However, I find the crown of the helium valve to be of no practical use unless you are a satur...
I assume...
By: FlyingSnoopy : June 25th, 2019-07:48
because the AP has black luminova- the regular ro diver has decent luminova...
Actually...
By: FlyingSnoopy : June 25th, 2019-07:50
I find that the omega bezel is a tad more difficult to use because the grips are wider...
Simple choice...
By: Cpt Scarlet : June 25th, 2019-01:12
The Omega, as it’s more discrete.
Good! I'm glad this is settled!
By: halgedahl : June 25th, 2019-05:06
Coming so late to the party I can only offer that I was immediately struck by the Omega. A diver, yet quite at home at the roulette table. (You were planning numerous evenings at the casino, were you not?) And I agree with fewer scratch worries; the pract...
I appreciate all the helpful comments & feedback...
By: fernando : June 25th, 2019-06:11
including yours. I will certainly keep everyone updated with wrist shots, including places of interest (possibly one in a casino at a hand of baccarat?). Thank you FH for your kind reply!
Most definitely the Omega.
By: Rhyzen : June 25th, 2019-06:41
The combination of scratch resistance, lume, and overall discreteness makes it an awesome choice.
I feel like a lone voice in the wilderness...
By: cshimokita : June 25th, 2019-06:51
I would go with the Royal Oak Offshore... I think the time is easier to read with the white face, even with the phone a watch with date is nice to have when traveling. Watches are meant to be used, so unless I am chopping wood, clearing brush, cleaning ra...
I like your lone voice Casey.

Going against the tide sometimes pays off and in this case I haven't written off the ROO just yet but it's hard not to listen to the majority. As for the camera, I like to keep it simple and travel light - the Q. cheers fernando
Hahaha... good one Echi
By: cshimokita : June 26th, 2019-00:36
and fernando... love the black stealth look ; ) Casey
Which watch (strap) is the best for summer heat and humidity?
By: rdenney : June 25th, 2019-09:22
The Omega looks like alligator and the ROO looks like rubber (albeit white). SE Asia is hot and humid this time of year, right? It would be bracelet weather for me. Edit: Nevermind, a closer look reveals a rubber strap in the Omega, too. I would add that ...
