I'm leaving town tomorrow for six weeks and I can't decide which watch to bring. It's between the following two:

Rolex Submariner Date SS

Vintage Omega Speedmaster Professional (1971) leather strap

I'd be curious to hear everyone's thoughts and reasons....

Thanks!

Last trip I took a Tudor Snowflake. This time the Moonwatch. Next time both maybe...

Sub date, just because you can go swimming or take a shower without taking it off and running the risk of having some sticky fingered hotel employee lift it

I'd take both 馃槣

I normally take at least 2 watches if I'm away on a trip or something. Usually my favorite at the time, something else unusual and a cheaper one which I can put on quick if I need to be going somewhere less that desirable 馃榿

Thank you for all the great responses! I'm still deciding, but leaning toward wearing the Speedmaster at first. Since I live in NYC and am only traveling to Philadelphia, I can always switch out my watch during a trip home on a day off. Here is a picture of the two watches hanging out together:

That'd be pretty funny if I was interested in owning either watch. 馃槣

Yep, that or a 5513. No warts on the crystal of any watch I own.

Nah, no worries. My radar doesn't work for Rolex or Speedmasters. Now if you were wearing a pre-1960 Reverso you'd have that feeling somebody's watching you.......

Results are in. As much as I love wearing the Speedmaster, the Sub won out this time. You just can't beat its durability, flexibility, and overall bad*ss-ness!

Thank you all for your great input!
