Deciding what watch to take on travels can be tricky. Much depends on what type of travel. If I am going swimming or up in the Alps, I will tend towards a watch that is more robust and definitely waterproof. On the other hand, if i am going to a city, I w...  

...is how did you manage to resist that long to the P ? 😉 That version is simply... WOW. Superb pics btw, I think the one I prefer is the one in Trinity Church. That what a very nice trip with your son and you took just the right watch my friend 😉. Cheers... 

....ownership is an evolution

I like the idea of the boys trip and every place you visited is a trip on its favorite picture is the one with the converse cup of tea and how I like to be dressed most of the time. I hope you enjoyed your Boston,The watch I have no doubt. Best, Ahmed

.....that was my favourite shot too. Shows the ability of the watch to dress down as well as up. Time spent with family is always special......this trip was one of my favourites ever.

I always dress watches down not up😄I rarely wear formal. Best, Ahmed

.....that is my style too. I wear a suit only if going to a nice restaurant with my wife.....and even then more likely to be jacket than suit. Other than that....always jeans. I suspect that influences what type of watches i like too..... I do like watche... 

Are on my list,It's just a matter of time I believe and managing cash. Best, Ahmed

My second favourite world timer of all time (and I am including the enamelled pieces too which are a tad too large for me) after the 5110R! Great choice to travel with

The fact that the 5110P is certainly one of the finest Travel Watch. The fact that you can wear it formal or casual. Your " chill shot " is just top. And the fact that you need to wear a watch for quite some time before being able to fully appreciate it. ... 

.....i find that a relationship with a watch needs time on the wrist to mature. It is only after really experiencing it in different environments that a proper appreciation can develop. I am going to write a post about just this theme.....in fact I alread... 

I'm still considering 5130P because of its larger diameter of 39,5 mm but I'm always very reluctant to buy pre-owned watches. Best, Volker

About 40% of my watches are modern with 60% vintage....i love the added-value that each genre brings.

I need to break through this mental barrier, and maybe watches are a good starting point. 🤔

.....it provides some margin of safety in purchase. To be honest, its also usually a lot easier. Have wallet, can buy. For me, there is a massive satisfaction from the hunt. Finding something that is truly hard to find, where i have researched, evaluated ... 

Great watch to take with Did your son like it as well? Did you consider the 5575?

eye surgery back on the table again...

Glad you had a great time and ate delicious food ! Before your post revealing what your son wore, I thought for sure that, for his graduation trip, he would have worn a Worldtime watch as well. Perhaps another trip then. Cheers, Gordon

.......i guess at 21, I would have felt conspicuous in a WT too......

Looks like the perfect travel companion! Best Blomman
