Flew from NY to Puerto Rico this AM with my son for a long weekend and a little bit of work on Monday. At security at JFK I went through all the normal steps- empty the pockets, laptop, phone, shoes, into the tray to go through the machine and I walk though the gate. "Beep". Must be the belt. Off goes the belt and I try again- "beep" Ahh- the watch, my Blue Monstrum. I normally don't take off my watch to go through security and a Rolex GMT does not trigger the alarm. Anyhow, I handed the Monstrum to the TSA person and walked through with no "beep". Her comment (about the watch) "ees big! Lot of metal"

No offense taken. Going to Disney next week, so I might have to make this into a science project of seeing what watches do or don't set off the alarm

I can tell you for sure that a Seiko titanium Samurai will not set off the metal detector :D I discovered that coming back from Disney this past summer. On the way down, the foil on my cigarette pack set it off, I ended up taking off watch, wedding ring, emptying pockets etc until I took my smokes out of my pocket. Then the TSA put some scratches in the Sammy's bracelet free of charge. I refused to take it off on the way back but I did put my smokes in the tray. No alarm, go figure. Cheers, Griff I don't hate to fly, but I HATE airports.

Ooops! Experiment confirmed. Monstrum set off the alarm going through security at Philadelphia, though it did not inspire any comments. Not a peep from the LM2 on the way back at Orlando. Side note- I could not help thinking that the hang straps in the monorail at Orlando Airport ( black leather and beefy) would make for a nice watch strap, though they are likely a little too thick.
