Travel companions.
My wife & I spent 2022 travelling through Europe. Against all advice I chose these 3 watches to take with. I actually dove with the Oris to about 15-25 meters! Whilsts I had to be cautious at times, I only regret not taking more! I felt guilty thinking of my watches languishing inside a box after I spent so much time and money buying it! Is anyone else of the same opinion on this??

I’m from Melbourne, I’m a public servant. I love nothing more than hearing about the connection collectors have to their watches. For me, it’s not about the watch, it’s about how it’s worn.

3 killer watches. Don’t worry about the ones left behind.
Leave no Maen behind...
You did the right thing - watches are to be worn, enjoyed and used in conjunction with memories. Three is a great number - more would have posed logistics. At the end of the day though , the worst is they have to be replaced - but odds are you will just make memories attached to each that you with cherish and increase their personal value.
Great to hear you took the bold and fun route! We need more of that!!!
Why are Americans so worried about taking their prize watches to Europe? What do you think Europeans wear on their wrists?!?
Yeah there’s crime here too - but at least you know you’ll not be risking the bezel getting smashed by a stray AR-15 round whilst you’re over here 🤷♂️

Geez. Seems like you just revealed the inspiration for your username. Chill.
Some beautiful choices mate! And I love seeing posts where people actually take their dive watches... well.... diving! 😂 Distance makes the heart grow finder, you'll love the watches left at home more, whilst at the same having made some core memories with these three!
