What watch do you typically wear on vacation?.........................

Its that time of year now over here in the US, summer vacations!  Just curious to see what everyone wears when going away. For the last 5 or 6 years I change the strap on my Panerai 189 to a rubber one and head off with that. The watch has been all over the place and is still ticking!  I think only once it has been recognized which is perfect for me.


Interesting enough, I reversed my Panerai strap one time by accident and really ended up liking that look better reversed. I don't know if anyone else has ever done this but its worth a try if you haven't!

I typically only travel with one watch and never take it off. This concept is something I spend countless hours thinking about. Big on adding the blue AP Royal to the collection, everose yacht master, and or the JLC Vintage Cermet. Local boat in Coron. ...

a Stowa Flieger, hand winding, with a olive green nylon strap. Steel case and water resistant up to 50 meters with a good lume. and a nice b-side... I love this big balance wheel, ticking slowly at 18.000 a/h! Best, massi ...

... that appears to be some kind of a Holy Grail: ever so close, but never really there. Many of my watch reviews reflect that quest. My perfect vacation watch should offer perfect legibility, be rock solid, be not boring, offer a weekday display and a ch...
