Take one cheap beater, through it in your suitcase and wear your new purchase home. :D
No more Quartz (except when I cannot resist).

Still trying to finalise the lineup. It won't be one, though.

Sorry for my sin. I'll do better in the future.
Strangely enough... sort of the same here. Seamaster on steel bracelet. 300M classic "Bond" style. Suits all occasions and tough as nails :D
So I wish I was James Bond, just for the day.

Indeed, the Seamaster 300M is a tough timepiece. I caught mine on the edge of a metal table, not a scatch to the watch but the table was marked. :lol: Definitely a travel contender. :D

I suggest a trip to Poland, I've never failed not to have returned with something. :shock:

I suggest Krakow as your first port of call. Beautiful city, history, culture, great restaurants, the best coffee shops, brilliant hotels, lively bars, jazz clubs and watches. Just about every brand including some that I've never come across. The Wednesday market in the Jewish Quarter is fantastic place to find vintage watches. Finally English is widely spoken. :thumbup:

Yup. The SM looks just as at home on the slopes, or sitting at the Champagne bar enjoying raw oysters with the 'we only fly first class' set.

I'm off for a week over Easter and have already planned my clothing and watches :) - including taking out insurance to cover the Tag (special watch) & Tissot SeaStar (300m practical diver) although my £80 orange Accurist will also be joining me :)
