Which two to take on vacation?

Hey guys, just for fun which two (from my sig) of my four would you take to a vacation at a resort. No diving but maybe some casino and pool time. Looking forward to your opinions. Thanks!

same time zone = sub

3 diff time zones = gmt

2 diff time zones = explorer

I agree, just bring one, and make it the Exp II. Saves you from getting sand under the bezel and gives you two time zones. Also pretty 'stealthy' if you're at all concerned about being noticed by unsavory individuals.

Definitely a GMT function for travel. If you're going to the beach the the Exp, otherwise the GMT.

For a second watch, base it on variety. Pam with the GMT or Sub with the Exp.

I would just bring the Pepsi, no sense in traveling with more than one watch IMO and the GMT feature would be a nice bonus

I like taking my GMT when traveling time zones. I would also take the Sub.
