Who tells you I leave my watches in my luggage?
That would be the last place I would put my watches!
I bring some of my watches with me only if I know that I have several possibilities to hide them in a safe place.
If not, they stay in the safe at the bank.

I notice most of you guys bring your watches out on trips with you
Isnt there a saying, "leave all your valuables at home" when you're going for trips? to put things into perspective: watch value > everything else losing your entire luggage or the shirt on your back pales in comparison to losing your watch even getting r...
Nah..
Traveling is much more interesting with an AP... Safe travels, have fun out there! -MW...
BTW...
When traveling, it is always wise to be cautious and know your surroundings, when it comes to GTG's it is most important to follow certain security protocols. When you don't you end up with a huge potential for disaster like these guys: home.watchpros...
Me either :-) Cheers Jerry. [nt]

... Watches is what I bring. And I wear them when I travel and hide at the distination. On some places do I really think about what to bring. Having travelled much of the world for business. Bangkok for instance might not be the safest place. So I only br...
I travel with only what I can wear on my wrist...
...and very much assess the destination in my choice of watches. I think robbery might be more of a problem for expensive well-known brands rather than those that are under the radar of most people.
I don't travel often but when I do I take only one watch.
And it is almost always something on a bracelet unless I am absolutely, absolutely sure it will not rain and there will be zero chance of me being thrown into the pool or slipping into the water myself at the pier or any such stupid moment to ruin a perfe...
i often take several if travelling to meet other purists
the whole of life is a risk, you could get robbed with a swatch on the wrist of a patek perpetual. you could get run over by a bus with one watch on your wrist or 5 in your pockets. many of us have cars worth more than our watches and we take them out eve...
exactly
i usually bring one or two. i buy my watches to wear, not to store. life, as you say, is full of risks, and i suppose of something horrible happens, i'll regret it, but i'll also get on with my life. at the end of the day, most folks don't notice these wa...
Having a "fortress mentality"...
... in my mind, invites the negative energy in. Graham, I do agree with you on your take. My cars are still worth more than any one watch I have, but I would feel that same way.
Another thought
You go on a trip and your house is robbed. My friend's mom went on an extended trip and did something interesting. She had an older car in her garage which didn't work; she stored many valuables in it's trunk including paintings, jewelry, family heirlooms...
I only take one watch with me.
The others in the safe at the bank. I have nothing at home. Fx
Valuables stay at the bank.
One inexpensive watch travels with me. I just try to be aware of my surroundings. Cheers, Daos
I even have stored a backup watch in the car ....
... just in case the main watch gets damaged or lost .... It is a very simple hand-wound Glycine Incursore, but still a real watch, no quartz ... No, it depends on the type of travel which watches are carried along, and which are left at home. Since most ...
