Folks,

First world problem, which watch to take to Maui for a 9 day vacation? Home timezone is 6 hour difference from HI.

BLNR or Sub C/Date?

Bigsykedaddy · 2 February 2017, 11:33 AM

Sub C Date seems at home in a tropical setting.

armen34 · 2 February 2017, 11:33 AM

Blnr

fiftywattmafia · 2 February 2017, 11:33 AM

Time zone change?? BLNR

gates · 2 February 2017, 11:38 AM

I'd go BLNR - I've taken my Fat Lady to Maui a couple of times - use the GMT hand for AZ time for work calls when I'm on "vacation".

kilyung · 2 February 2017, 11:50 AM

Sub

RolexNorth · 2 February 2017, 12:12 PM

I've wore my old BLNR twice to Jamaica and wore it on the beach and in the ocean. No issues.

And1dre · 2 February 2017, 12:13 PM

Blnr

youthagainsttt · 2 February 2017, 12:15 PM

BLNR - perfect travel watch and robust too

sickened1 · 2 February 2017, 12:16 PM

Another vote for BLNR here.

ag986 · 2 February 2017, 12:17 PM

BLNR

Spartacus · 2 February 2017, 12:18 PM

I wore my BLNR in Maui. I think something without PCLs is better for the water and dealing with sun tan lotion etc.

I found the easy link to be great when going from hot to A/C cooled rooms. You can't go wrong either way. I would take both...if I had a sub.

There is a nice AD in Wailea!

ash5 · 2 February 2017, 12:25 PM

I choose the Sub as I recently took my SubC no date to Maui last month and wore it every day in the ocean, in the sand, out to dinner, etc. and it was perfect in every occasion.

mmalek1 · 2 February 2017, 12:28 PM

Just booked a sandals trip to Antigua for me and the wife. I am most likely swimming and relaxing with my blnr. Either choices are great. Take the one that you will most enjoy wearing and not worrying about.

Chewbacca · 2 February 2017, 12:31 PM

blnr.

those pcl's need scratches.

Anthon · 2 February 2017, 12:47 PM

I avoid anything with a date on holidays. Buy an explorer

normandy · 2 February 2017, 12:51 PM

Submariner

Why would there be issues?

Al1969 · 2 February 2017, 01:31 PM

Blnr.

SeaDweller50 · 2 February 2017, 01:34 PM

Either, or for me. Both great holiday watches.

mikeps2006 · 2 February 2017, 01:52 PM

Sub

Ravager135 · 2 February 2017, 01:59 PM

I'll be going there for my honeymoon in November. I'm between the LV and the BLNR. I live in NJ so it's nice to have the travel reference, but Hawaii screams Submariner in so far as the local activities.

Tanderson · 2 February 2017, 02:04 PM

I choose Sub. I am kinda partial since that is what I bought in Maui. Remember, the tax rate there is only 4%. Go to the shops at Wilea and check out what they have in stock if you are possibly looking for a new one too.

MBYSF · 2 February 2017, 02:14 PM

Sub C Date is my FAVORITE watch to bring to Hawaii, my 116610LV fits in perfectly with the lush Hawaiian landscape..!

Hairdude1 · 2 February 2017, 02:21 PM

Both!

You know how some around here are. They hear the words sand and salt water and they freak out.

One poster mentioned that PCL bracelet may not be good because of suntan lotion. Why would this be an issue. I used soap and clean water back in the hotel room and it was fine.

Tanderson · 2 February 2017, 02:41 PM

The AD there in Wilea told me to drop by before our flight and he would steam it and get it cleaned up after being in the ocean. He has customers do that all the time with no issues to their watches.

seand442 · 2 February 2017, 02:48 PM

I'd say Sub. Of course, there is an AD at Whalers Village, so come with 1, leave with 2.

DCheeta · 2 February 2017, 02:53 PM

Submariner for the daytime and BLNR for the evenings.

mjclark32 · 2 February 2017, 08:45 PM

Sub. Who cares what time it is at home when you're in Hawaii for 9 days

Edit:added "at home"
