I'm off on a 3 week trip on the weekend. First stop Philadelphia, then spending a few days at the Hershey Fall meet in PA. After that on to Germany for two weeks.
As usual, the question bodes: What ticker to take?:?
My GMT II seems the logical choice, but I also have a very interesting dual time big face watch from Eastern origin that I've used before. Called a Schaffer, it boasts an automatic movement with date, day and hour complications. The small unit on the left is a quartz movement. Although bulky, the watch wears very well and keeps excellent time.
Of course the Rolex is the ultimate (I don't have any other dual time / GMT watches) but there is no need to impress anyone on this trip (leisure), and there is always the niggling thought of losing such a piece.....
I'm also picking up two watches I bought recently, and kept for me in PA. One is a Vostok Europe Red Square (my first Russian!) and the other a vintage rectangular 14k white gold omega. Can't wait!
Attached, a quick cellphone pic of my Schaffer for reference.
