Which watch for a Mediterranean Cruise?
I plan to take a 7 day cruise this month. Destinations are Valencia, Marseille, Genoa, Civitavecchia, Palermo and Ibiza.
We plan to DIY some excursions which means taking public transport. Attached are some possible candidates for the trip. I wan tot take only one watch. This means it need to be good and look good for the pool, sea, nice dinner etc. Which one would take and why?

Second vote for the Breitling, followed by the no date Tudor and Grand Seiko.

I'd go Black Bay or Omega, as I'd prefer rubber or nylon straps during summer. Both can take a swim and won't be too flashy to attract the wrong kind of attention.

The Tudor is one of my the top of picks as well. I assume you are referring to the GS diver? The GS evo 9 is something probably don’t want to get on the sea. |

While I don't care for the watch Id wear the Omega.
I think its suited if you decided to swim, I think it is low-key My second choice would be the Grand Seiko diver.

Agree! those are the ones I was thinking. I feel the rubber strap on the Seamaster is more secure than the nato strap on the BB. |

Yes, the ceramic is something that most people down recognize unless you are into watches. |

Another vote for the Breitling. Used to have that model and often would take it as my more upscale vacation option in addition to a G-shock.

Breitling or Panerai are what I’d narrow it down too.
