I'll be heading for Vancouver, B.C. Monday morning for six days and need to decide on a watch for the duration. I have kinda' told myself I'm not bringing multiple watches and am going to "ride one horse" so to speak. I also think I want a GMT. Please help me decide. You might also think I am nuts for only brining one. Here are my pre-selections. Please feel free to comment and/or use the poll. Thanks for any and all input.:D 1 - Rolex GMT Master II  Pros: It's a Rolex Kickass GMT Movement Cons: Losing it or having it stolen though I would need to be jacked with some force to give this one up...:shock: 2 - Ocean 7 G1 GMT  Pros: Rolex Stunt Watch Ups WR Cons: Kinda of diver-ish for business 3 - Accutron Astronaut LE  Pros: Kickass styling meets all needs Cons: ??:D 4 - Doxa 750T Caribbean GMT  Pros: Sweet Caribbean Colors Sporty;) Cons: A bit bright and busy for business There you have it. Thanks for having a look and thanks in advance for any input. Feel free to make any other suggestions... |

I would go with the Rolex if you are going on business. Whoever you are dealing with may not know what the other brands are. Wearing a Rolex gives the impression you are a successful businessman. Like it or not, to the avereage joe, Rolex is the sign of success. Just my opinion of course. ;) |

Accutron...yeah baby!!! Love that watch. It's dressy and sporty and if you run into any Boeing folks up from Seattle they will think you're a rock star. |

Lotta good feedback here, 3T. Keep it coming please. And Keith, you are correct... I really didn't have any cons for the Astronaut... perhaps a touch staid, but really I think not! Thanks for the input 3T brothers! |

Though I like the Accutron, I have to agree with Scott and Teddy; Rolex for business, it's the one everybody relates to success. |

I would go with the Ocean 7. People in Vancouver are sophisticated, sports loving and laid back so the Rolex would not impress them as much and is not a dress watch for business while the 7 would spark their interest. The Accutron is GORGEOUS and I wish I had one but rather plain (more suited for a business meeting) while the Doxa is over the top. Choice is yours, Ocean7 or Accutron. |

Thanks for all the thoughts... I am going to go with the final vote as of 0400 Monday morning so if you have a moment please give me your input. So far the Accutron leads the Rolex by only three votes... |

Lone Doxa voter (so far) here. It's the one I want to wear! As far as being afraid of losing a watch or being robbed, that could happen anywhere. We have watches because we wear watches. If you want to wear that sexy Rolex, go for it. |

Just back from a steam train trip with my son and grandson in time to weigh in on this. As C.J. calls me - The Accutron Man - there is no doubt which I recommend. Just keep me in mind when you are ready to flip that beautiful puppy!  |

Got here (for whatever reason) too late to vote...but my 2 cents is that if you won't wear the Rolex because you are afraid of losing it, for any reason, you should simply sell it now,or get an insurance "rider" for it (it is not that expensive). Bottom line: Enjoy it or sell it! |

Enjoy your trip too vancouver! If you have time checkout the Observatory for diner, it's on top of grouse mountain overlooking the city. Palladio is worth a look for fine watches! I'm late for the poll but the accutron is sweet! http://www.grousemountain.com/Summer/dining/the-observatory/ Last edited on Mon Sep 29th, 2008 10:40 pm by esdonkeyboy |

I was going to suggest a visit to Grouse as well. Lynn Valley Canyon is worth a few snapshots too. It's warm today he could easily take a trip to Wreck Beach as well...inquire about that one Pax |
