Nothing says “rugged outdoors” like a platinum bezel that scratches if you look at it wrong.
I’d go with a 216570. Don’t have one? Well? This is your chance. |

Tough call but I would say the slight edge goes to the YM. The dial!

For lobster, only a Yachtmaster will do.

My personal preference is for the Seamaster. Every time. Not a YM fan at all.

When rocks are involved it’s GShock for me.

Of the two choices it would be the Omega. I would use it as an excuse to pickup a Seiko as a better and bring my YM to wear to less harsh events on the trip. The Seiko would be for the rugged spots. Not that Rolex or Omega can't take it but the appropriate watch/tool for the task ay hand. You could probably wear a suit and tie the whole time and be fine but that is not the right choice for the activity. Have fun.

Figured I’d close the loop on this dilemma. So I was on my way out the door and realized I had forgot I owned a watch that would be PERFECT for this trip. Here’s a pic of the watch in action today.
It was a fantastic trip. Great hikes. Great food. All in all just so much fun! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

platinum bezel on YM is a scratch magnet

Wear the Yacht Master, very easy to find a new one if you loose it.

Planet Ocean for me.
Lighter for hiking with, more adjustable bracelet and less scratch prone bezel. Still very classy for dining out. |

While I'd wear my 16570 - given only the choice between YM and PO I'd go with the PO. I think it's more "laid back" corresponding to a vacation of hiking and (lobster) dining.
Kind regards, Oliver

You should consider focusing on the gear that you will be taking. Many hikers will admit that they sometimes forget to pack an important item in their backpack, especially in the spring when they are a bit out of practice. Every backpacking party should carry the Ten Essentials. These essentials are a topographic map, compass, extra food, extra clothing, firestarter, matches, sun protection, a pocket knife, first-aid kit, and flashlight. I would usually read up on places like Amazon reviews to see some good guides on certain products.
As for the kids, each child should have a whistle around his or her neck, plus a pack filled with rain gear, a warm hat, gloves, food and water. Add to that a space blanket to wrap around them and sit pad to keep them off the wet and cold ground. |

Man that PO is awesome. I would take that as the titanium a bit less likely to scratch. |
