Damn, as a collector it is difficult to decide which watch to wear on a trip. You have choices, right? So I decided to trim it down to just two - one for the day and one for the night...

Criteria are:

Day watch

Takes everything my wrist can
Easily adjustable or flexible steel bracelet

Night watch

Tritium!
Leather band

And the verdict is... Seiko Turtle on Angus Jubilee with Taikonaut ratcheting buckle for daytime and Ball Engineer Master GMT

Good choices! And with that Ball you will know what time it is at home - did you think of that? Of course you did ;-)

Yup good choices.. I might have considered a SARB017 (get it while you can!) on that Angus Super Jubilee (get it while you can!), but it is too dressy and I would be afraid to scratch it up - it is getting highly collectible as we all know!

You mean... a SARB017 like this?

Hell yeah! I wants it.... Prices are rising - rising rising.

Yes, I like that Padi Turtle for a daily wear. You can always use it like this in a pinch - it will take it!

Those are all good choices - according to the criteria. Me, I feel just all right wearing this bruiser. It is the type of leather that holds up so well in the heat and that makes the watch wearable.

yeah, the Turtle is a winner. Big, legible and extremely comfortable. I usually forget it is on the wrist and that is quite a design achievement for such a watch. That ratcheting clasps is of course the best, I don't understand why almost no watches come with that as standard.
